Dean Tissue Scissor is a compact, heavy-duty soft-tissue scissor for dental and oral surgery. Blunt tips, strong shanks, and optional micro-serrations give slip-free, precise cutting in tight spaces. Ideal for flap release, graft trimming, and suture or dressing removal. Compared with bulkier scissors, it provides better control and visibility while remaining durable and fully autoclavable.
Description
The Dean Tissue Scissor is a precision surgical scissor designed for soft-tissue cutting in dental, periodontal, and oral surgery. Its compact blades and strong shanks deliver controlled power in the confined intraoral field, making it reliable for trimming mucosa, releasing flaps, contouring grafts, and cutting sutures or dressings. Blunt tips help protect adjacent structures, while the ring-handle design gives steady, ergonomic control for accurate cuts along curved or straight lines.
Key features and benefits:
• Compact cutting blades with robust shanks for confident, precise cuts
• Curved or straight variants to improve access in posterior and anterior sites
• Blunt tips that minimize accidental tissue injury
• Optional micro-serrations to reduce slippage on wet tissue
• High-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and autoclave sterilization
• Balanced, ring-handle ergonomics that reduce hand fatigue
Common uses:
• Periodontal flap surgery and mucoperiosteal dissection
• Trimming connective-tissue or free-gingival grafts
• Contouring soft tissue around implant or extraction sites
• Cutting sutures, membranes, and surgical dressings
How it compares:
• Versus Metzenbaum scissors: Dean offers a sturdier feel and shorter working end for better leverage in dense oral tissues.
• Versus Mayo scissors: Dean is less bulky and better suited to delicate intraoral work while still handling moderate-duty cutting.
Quality considerations:
• Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel and designed for repeated steam sterilization.
• Non-slip finger rings and precise box-lock alignment support consistent performance case after case.
The Dean Tissue Scissor is a dependable, everyday instrument for clinicians who want clean cuts, predictable handling, and safe access in tight surgical spaces.
