Potts scissors: questions buyers ask

What are Potts scissors used for?

Potts scissors are fine angled scissors used to open and extend incisions in arteries and veins (arteriotomy), especially in coronary bypass and vascular surgery.

Which Potts scissors angles are most common?

45°, 60° and 125° are the most ordered angles. 25° extends straight arteriotomies; 125° and 125° V-neck cut backwards toward the surgeon; 170° is for special pediatric cases.

What is the difference between Potts and Diethrich-Potts scissors?

Both are angled vascular scissors; Diethrich-Potts patterns use ring handles and razor-edge blades, while classic Potts patterns are usually spring-handled with very fine blades.

What is the minimum order for Potts scissors?

20 pieces per pattern. Single-piece samples are made in about 10 days.
