The Mayo pattern for cutting dense tissue and fascia, here with a supercut blade that gives a cleaner, smoother cut through tough structures.

Design features

• Supercut grind: one blade has a very fine, keen edge for smooth, clean cuts
• Dark ring handles identify the supercut range on the instrument tray
• Short, sturdy blades with rounded tips
• Lengths 14.5 to 23 cm

Typical applications

• Cutting fascia and dense tissue
• Abdominal and general 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.
