Enterotomy scissors have one blunt, probe-like blade that is slid into the bowel lumen so the bowel wall can be opened safely along its length.

Design features

• Blunt, probe-ended lower blade
• Three patterns
• Length 21 cm

Typical applications

• Opening the bowel (enterotomy)
• Gastrointestinal surgery

Care

Use scissors only on the tissue or material they are designed for; cutting sutures, wire or dressings with dissecting scissors dulls the edges. Process with the blades open and check the joint for smooth action.
