Overview

This document provides a comprehensive catalog of surgical scissors offered under the Bäramed brand. It includes multiple types and patterns of scissors, specifying their sizes, model numbers, and intended surgical uses.

Sections and Content Summary

1. Standard Patterns

These are general-purpose surgical scissors available in various lengths ranging from 11.5 cm (4½ inches) to 20 cm (8 inches). Model numbers in this category include 07-100 series through 07-105 series and 07-102 through 07-104 series. The scissors are identified by their length and model codes, with consistent availability across multiple sizes.

2. Slender Patterns

Designed for more delicate surgical tasks, slender pattern scissors are available in sizes from 11.5 cm (4½ inches) to 14.5 cm (5½ inches). Model numbers include 07-110 through 07-115 series. These scissors emphasize finer, more precise cutting capabilities.

3. Incision Scissors

These scissors are specialized for incision purposes, with models such as 07-120-14 and 07-121-14, typically around 13 to 14.5 cm (5 to 5½ inches) in length.

4. Dissecting Scissors

Dissecting scissors are available in several subtypes, including Mayo, Mayo-Stille, Mayo-Harrington, Mayo-Noble, Lexer, Baby-Lexer, and Metzenbaum. These scissors vary in length from 10 cm (4 inches) to 30 cm (12 inches), catering to different surgical needs:

• Mayo Series: Sizes from 14.5 cm to 23 cm, used for general dissection.
• Mayo-Stille and Mayo-Harrington: Sizes up to 30 cm, designed for heavier or more specialized dissection.
• Lexer and Baby-Lexer: Smaller sizes (10-16 cm) for delicate dissection tasks.
• Metzenbaum Series: Available in standard, delicate, and very delicate patterns, sizes range from 11.5 cm to 25 cm, optimized for fine tissue dissection.

5. Size and Model Numbering

Each scissor type is identified by a unique model number starting with '07-' followed by a three-digit code and size indication. Sizes are consistently provided in centimeters and inches for clarity. The catalog includes both left and right-handed models where applicable.

6. Multilingual Terminology

The document lists the term "scissors" in multiple languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian) to support international use and identification.

Key Parameters and Recommendations

• Size Range: Surgical scissors range from 10 cm (4 inches) to 30 cm (12 inches) depending on the type and intended use.
• Pattern Selection: Standard patterns suit general surgery, slender patterns for delicate work, incision scissors for cutting incisions, and dissecting scissors for tissue separation.
• Model Identification: Use the model number to select the appropriate scissor type and size.
• Application: Choose scissors based on surgical requirements—delicate patterns for fine tissue, larger sizes for robust dissection.

Summary

This catalog serves as a detailed reference for selecting surgical scissors across a broad range of surgical applications. It emphasizes size variety, pattern specialization, and multilingual accessibility to meet diverse surgical needs. The structured model numbering and size specifications facilitate precise ordering and inventory management.
