Metzenbaum Straight – Gum Scissors

The Metzenbaum Straight Scissor (NES-2693) is a precision dissecting pattern built for delicate tissue handling, available in 14.5cm, 18.0cm, and 20.0cm lengths.
Among our maxillofacial surgery instruments, the Metzenbaum pattern is prized specifically for its finer, more delicate blade profile compared to heavier general-purpose scissors like the Mayo.
That finer construction makes the Metzenbaum well suited to blunt dissection and careful tissue separation, tasks where a heavier, bulkier blade would risk unnecessary trauma to surrounding structures. Its longer handle-to-blade ratio also gives practitioners fine tactile control, useful when working with delicate fascia or thin tissue planes.
Having three length options lets practitioners match reach to the depth of the surgical field, from more contained access at 14.5cm to deeper dissection work at 20.0cm, all under one dependable, well-established pattern.
The straight blade keeps the cutting and dissecting line direct, suited to tasks where the tissue plane runs predictably rather than around a contour.
Built from surgical-grade stainless steel, this scissor withstands repeated sterilization cycles and the demands of daily precision work, holding its fine cutting edge reliably across long-term clinical use.
