Kelly Scissor

Kelly scissors are specialized surgical scissors designed for cutting various tissues during surgical procedures. Surgeons commonly use them in general surgery, as well as gynecological and urological surgeries. These scissors feature a blunt-ended design with either straight or curved blades, providing precision and control while minimizing the risk of injury to surrounding tissues.

Design & Features

• Material: Kelly scissors are made from high-quality stainless steel, which ensures durability, rust resistance, and the ability to withstand sterilization.
• Blades:
  • The blades are either half-curved or straight, with one or both ends typically blunt to reduce the risk of puncturing deeper tissue layers.
  • The blades are finely tapered to offer controlled cutting, particularly in delicate surgeries.
• Handle:
  • The handles are ergonomically designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip during use.
  • Some models feature ring handles with smooth edges for comfort during prolonged use.

Applications & Uses

• Tissue Dissection: Surgeons use Kelly scissors to cut soft tissues, such as fascia, connective tissue, or ligaments, during surgery.
• Hemostasis: They are useful in procedures requiring control of bleeding, cutting through tissues with minimal disruption.
• Obstetrics and Gynecology: In gynecological surgeries, Kelly scissors assist in dissection during procedures like hysterectomies or episiotomies.
• Urological Surgery: Surgeons use Kelly scissors for cutting soft tissues and managing the urinary tract in urological procedures.
• Vascular Surgery: Occasionally, Kelly scissors help cut or dissect soft tissue near blood vessels in vascular surgery.

Variants & Sizes

• Straight Kelly Scissors: These are ideal for cutting tissue in a straight line, making them suitable for general surgical use.
• Curved Kelly Scissors: The curved version offers better access to hard-to-reach tissues, commonly used in procedures requiring precision.
• Sizes: Kelly scissors are available in various lengths, typically ranging from 5.5 inches (14 cm) to 7.5 inches (19 cm), depending on surgical requirements.
