Littler Dissecting Scissors

Littler Dissecting Scissors are specialized surgical scissors used for meticulous soft tissue dissection in procedures requiring exceptional precision and atraumatic tissue handling.

Originally developed for hand and peripheral nerve surgery, these scissors feature slender, finely tapered blades that enable accurate separation of delicate tissue planes while minimizing trauma to surrounding structures.

Their refined tip geometry provides excellent access and visibility within small operative fields, making them particularly suitable for microsurgical applications involving nerves, vessels, tendons, and other delicate anatomical structures.

Available in straight and curved configurations, Littler Dissecting Scissors allow surgeons to select the most appropriate blade pattern for specific procedural techniques and anatomical requirements.

The balanced construction and ergonomic finger ring handles offer superior tactile feedback, secure handling, and precise maneuverability during intricate dissections.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the scissors deliver exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. The satin or matte low-glare finish minimizes reflections under operating microscopes and surgical lighting while facilitating efficient cleaning and maintenance.

Widely used in hospitals, hand surgery units, microsurgical centers, and plastic surgery practices, Littler Dissecting Scissors are an essential component of microsurgical instrument sets.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the scissors are designed to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining blade sharpness, alignment, and structural integrity.

Common Clinical Applications Include:

• Hand Surgery
• Peripheral Nerve Surgery
• Microsurgery
• Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
• Tendon Repair Procedures
• Vascular Dissection
• Soft Tissue Dissection
• Facial Reconstruction
• Delicate Tissue Separation
• Microsurgical Procedures
