Metzenbaum Curved – Gum Scissors
Metzenbaum Curved Gum Scissors are curved-blade scissors built for dental and maxillofacial instrument sets, available in 14.5 cm, 18.0 cm, and 20.0 cm lengths at a listed weight of 100 g. They’re part of the Maxillofacial Surgery Instruments line.
Bringing the same delicate dissecting profile to a curved blade, the NES-2696 Metzenbaum Curved is available in matching 14.5 cm, 18.0 cm, and 20.0 cm lengths. That curve gives practitioners better access around tissue contours during blunt dissection, where a straight blade would need to be repositioned more frequently to maintain even contact.
Three lengths: 14.5 cm, 18.0 cm, 20.0 cm
Curved blade for improved access around contoured tissue
Fine, delicate profile suited to blunt dissection
Stainless steel construction, fully autoclavable
Within our maxillofacial surgery instruments collection, the curved Metzenbaum pairs naturally with the straight version, giving practitioners complete coverage for both direct and contoured delicate tissue work. Practitioners often keep both on hand, selecting based on the specific anatomy being dissected during a given procedure.
The curve also offers a visibility benefit, keeping the shaft angled slightly out of the surgeon’s direct line of sight during careful, close-up dissection.
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, this scissor withstands repeated sterilization cycles and daily precision handling, remaining a dependable choice for delicate tissue separation across a range of field depths.

Each length carries the same curved configuration and weight, so the deciding factor when ordering is simply which size fits the instrument set or procedure at hand. For a closer look at how the three options compare, see the Metzenbaum Gum Scissors Buying Guide.
It's offered in three lengths: 14.5 cm, 18.0 cm, and 20.0 cm, so buyers can match the scissors to the scale of their instrument set rather than a single fixed size.
It's a curved design across all three available lengths; there's no straight variant listed for this particular product.
It's listed at 100 g regardless of which of the three lengths is selected.
It's part of the Maxillofacial Surgery Instruments range, alongside other dental and maxillofacial instrumentation.
Match the length to your existing instrument set, or the reach the procedure calls for: shorter for tighter, more compact work; longer where more length is needed to maneuver.
