HATE Mayo Scissors – Straight, Black Handles

The HATE mayo scissors is a pair of German-made dissecting scissors with strong, straight blades, rounded blunt tips and black anti-glare ring handles. They cut tough tissue, fascia and sutures cleanly and with little effort.

What Are Mayo Scissors?

These instruments are named after the surgeons of the Mayo Clinic, where the design was developed. They have heavier blades than fine instruments such as the Metzenbaum, so they can cut dense tissue like fascia, muscle and tendon. The straight version is also widely used to cut sutures.

The blunt tips reduce the risk of injuring underlying structures, and the black finish on the handles reduces reflection under the operating lights. The blades are marked with the HATE logo and “Germany.”

• General dissection in abdominal and plastic surgery.
• Orthopaedic, hand and soft-tissue procedures.

Why Choose German-Made Dissecting Scissors?

Scissors are used in almost every procedure, and blunt or misaligned blades crush tissue instead of cutting it. High-quality surgical scissors keep a sharp, even edge along the full length of the blades and cut with a smooth, light action. German steel and precise hand finishing mean the mayo scissors stay sharp longer and cost less in repairs and replacements over time.

How to Use the Mayo Scissors

1. Hold the scissors with the thumb and ring finger in the rings and the index finger on the shank for stability.
2. Cut with the middle part of the blades for the most power and control.
3. Use the blunt tips to spread and separate tissue when needed.
4. Keep separate scissors for sutures if you want to protect the edges of your tissue scissors.

Care and Sterilization

Rinse the scissors immediately after use. Clean it with a soft brush or in an ultrasonic cleaner, then dry it completely. Sterilize it in an autoclave according to your facility’s validated protocol. Inspect it before every use. Open the scissors to clean the joint, lubricate it with instrument milk and sterilize them open. Have the blades sharpened by a specialist when they no longer cut cleanly.
