Cutting & Dissection Surgical Instruments

Cutting and dissection instruments are grouped by blade geometry and intended tissue type, not just size. Mayo scissors use heavier, blunter blades for cutting fascia, sutures, and dense tissue, while Metzenbaum scissors have finer, more delicate blades built for gentle dissection near vessels and nerves. Scalpel handles pair with disposable blades sized to the depth and precision of the incision.

For US surgical facilities standardizing a tray, the general rule is: heavier cutting instruments (Mayo scissors, bandage scissors) for gross tissue and dressing removal, finer dissection instruments (Metzenbaum, iris scissors) for delicate work near critical structures, and scalpel handles matched to blade size (a #3 handle for #10-#15 blades, a #4 handle for #20-#25 blades).

All cutting instruments from CareGear Suppliers are ISO 13485 certified and CE marked, made from surgical-grade stainless steel sourced from Sialkot, Pakistan, and sold in bulk to US hospitals, surgery centers, and clinics.
