Knee-Bent Castroviejo Microsurgery Scissors – Serrated Edge, 16cm
Knee-Bent Castroviejo Microsurgery Scissors – Serrated Edge, 16cm
Knee-Bent Castroviejo Microsurgery Scissors – Serrated Edge, 16cm
In microsurgery, the position of the cutting tips can be just as important as the sharpness of the blades. The knee-bent configuration of these Castroviejo scissors changes the approach of the working end, helping the operator reach tissue without placing the hand directly over the area being treated.
The pointed tips are intended for detailed work where the scissors need to enter a defined area of soft tissue rather than perform broad trimming. This makes the instrument particularly useful when a procedure calls for careful dissection, tissue separation, or localized cutting.
A defining feature is the fine serration on one cutting edge. Instead of relying solely on smooth blade contact, the serrated surface helps maintain contact with delicate tissue while the opposing blade completes the cut. This blade arrangement gives the scissors a different working character from conventional smooth-edged surgical scissors.
The Castroviejo rotary-action handle allows finger-operated opening and closing of the blades. This format is well suited to microsurgical technique, where small hand movements and deliberate blade positioning are important. At 16cm, the scissors provide useful working length while retaining a compact profile for precision procedures.
The scissors are manufactured from surgical stainless steel for professional reusable use. Their construction makes them suitable for inclusion in microsurgical and dental surgical instrument sets that undergo routine cleaning and sterilization.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the knee-bent profile?
The bent profile changes the orientation of the cutting tips, making it easier to approach tissue from an angled position during procedures where a straight scissor profile may be less convenient.
Why does this model have a serrated edge?
The fine serration on one blade helps maintain contact with soft tissue during cutting and can provide greater engagement than two completely smooth cutting edges.
What are the pointed tips used for?
The pointed tips allow the operator to work on smaller, more defined areas when performing delicate dissection or tissue separation.
How does the Castroviejo mechanism operate?
The rotary-action design is operated with the fingers, allowing the blades to be opened and closed through controlled hand movements rather than using conventional large scissor rings.
Is this scissors model intended for microsurgery?
Yes. Its knee-bent profile, pointed tips, serrated cutting edge, and rotary-action mechanism make it particularly suited to microsurgical and other precision soft tissue procedures.
What is the significance of the 16cm length?
The 16cm length provides a useful working reach while maintaining a relatively compact format for detailed surgical manipulation.
