Snowden-Pencer Laparoscopic Scissors

Snowden-Pencer laparoscopic scissors are specialized instruments designed for minimally invasive surgeries. They feature long, thin shafts and small, sharp blades (straight or curved) that allow precise cutting through small incisions under laparoscopic visualization. The ergonomic handles (e.g., Snowden-Pencer Ergonomic Ring Handles) reduce surgeon fatigue.

Uses: Used in laparoscopic procedures (e.g., cholecystectomy, appendectomy) to cut tissues, dissect structures, or trim sutures. They are inserted through trocars and manipulated under a laparoscope.

Sizes:

• Shaft length: Typically 30–35 cm to reach deep within the body.
• Blade length: 5–10 mm, with straight or curved options for specific cutting needs.

Material: High-grade stainless steel, often with insulated shafts for use with electrosurgical devices.
