DeBakey Potts-Smith Vascular Scissors

The DeBakey Potts-Smith Vascular Scissors are precision-engineered surgical scissors designed for delicate vascular dissection and incision during cardiovascular and plastic surgeries. Named after the pioneering surgeon Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, these scissors are favored for their accuracy, fine control, and minimal tissue trauma.

Constructed from high-grade surgical stainless steel, the scissors feature thin, tapered blades with various angled tips (25°, 45°, 60°) for optimal access in deep or confined surgical fields. The angled design allows for improved visibility and precise navigation around vessels, making them ideal for procedures such as arteriotomy, venotomy, and delicate vascular dissections.

The beveled cutting edges ensure smooth, controlled dissection, while rounded or pointed tips provide the option for either sharp or blunt manipulation. These instruments are reusable, non-sterile, and require sterilization prior to use in surgical environments.
