Mayo scissors are specialized surgical scissors commonly used in medical procedures. They are designed with a long, straight blade and a blunt tip, allowing for precise cutting of tissue while minimizing the risk of injury to surrounding structures. Their design makes them ideal for cutting through thicker materials, such as fascia or muscle. These scissors come in various sizes and can be straight or curved, depending on the specific needs of the surgery. Mayo scissors are often found in operating rooms and are an essential tool for surgeons and medical professionals during procedures that require careful dissection.
