Mayo scissors are the heavy-duty scissor of general surgery: longer, heavier blades on a shorter shank, built to cut dense tissue such as fascia and ligament, and to cut suture.

This collection covers straight and curved Mayo scissors with beveled or round blades, the Mayo-Stille, Mayo-Noble and Mayo-Sims variants, tungsten carbide, titanium, supercut and left-handed patterns.

What this collection covers

  • Standard Mayo scissors - 5½" and 6¾", straight and curved, beveled or round blades.
  • Mayo-Stille, Mayo-Noble and Mayo-Sims - named variants of the Mayo pattern, at 15-17cm and 7¾".
  • Tungsten carbide (TC) Mayo - carbide inserts for a longer-lasting edge.
  • Titanium Mayo - lighter and non-magnetic.
  • Left-handed Mayo - blades reversed so a left-handed surgeon can see the cut line.
  • Long and supercut - including an 11" straight beveled supercut pattern.

Straight or curved Mayo?

Straight Mayo is the suture scissor - it cuts along the line of sight on a flat field, and it is the one the scrub nurse hands over when the surgeon says "cut". Curved Mayo is used for dissecting and cutting dense tissue, where the curve lets the tip follow the plane.

Beveled or round blades?

Beveled blades have a slimmer edge profile that works more easily through tissue. Round, unbeveled blades are heavier and more robust. If the scissor is mainly for suture and heavy tissue, round is the hard-wearing choice. If it does more dissecting, choose beveled.

Mayo vs Metzenbaum

The Metzenbaum is the dissecting scissor - short blades, long shank, light build. The Mayo cuts what the Metzenbaum shouldn't. A standard general-surgery tray carries both, so neither one gets used for the other's job.

Frequently asked questions

Which Mayo scissor is used to cut sutures? The straight Mayo.

What size Mayo scissors do I need? 6¾" (17cm) is the general-surgery standard. 5½" suits superficial and minor procedures; longer patterns reach deep fields.

Are left-handed Mayo scissors really different? Yes. The blades are reversed, so the cutting edge sits on the side a left-handed user can see, and the shear closes properly under a left-handed grip.

Why titanium? It is lighter, which reduces hand fatigue in long cases, and non-magnetic.

What do gold handles mean? By convention, tungsten carbide inserts.
