Tenotomy scissors
Tenotomy Scissors are a type of medical instrument used in various surgical procedures. They are small, sharp scissors that are specifically designed to cut delicate tissues. The term "tenotomy" refers to the surgical cutting of a tendon, and these scissors are often used for this purpose.
Design and Features[edit | edit source]
Tenotomy Scissors are typically made of high-quality stainless steel. They have a small, pointed tip which allows for precise cutting of tissues. The handles are designed to provide a comfortable grip and easy control of the instrument. Some models also feature a lock mechanism to keep the scissors closed when not in use.
Uses in Medical Procedures[edit | edit source]
Tenotomy Scissors are used in a variety of surgical procedures. They are commonly used in ophthalmic surgery, to cut the delicate tissues of the eye. They are also used in otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat surgery), plastic surgery, and neurosurgery. In addition to cutting tendons, these scissors can also be used to cut other types of soft tissue.
Care and Maintenance[edit | edit source]
Like all surgical instruments, Tenotomy Scissors must be properly cared for to ensure their longevity and effectiveness. This includes regular cleaning and sterilization to prevent the spread of infection. It is also important to inspect the scissors regularly for any signs of damage or wear.
