Description
Aesculap BC557R Curved Mayo Dissecting Scissors – 6.5"
The Aesculap BC557R is a world-class surgical instrument designed for the effortless dissection of tough, fibrous tissue. As a "Standard Mayo" pattern, these scissors are the workhorse of the general surgery tray, but the Aesculap manufacturing process elevates them with superior balance and a refined pivot point that reduces hand fatigue.
The curved blades provide an improved line of sight in deep surgical pockets, while the blunt/blunt tips make them ideal for blunt dissection—inserting the closed tips into a tissue plane and opening them to visualize anatomy safely. Whether cutting through thick fascia or surgical sutures, the BC557R provides a clean, consistent shear from the screw to the tip.
Key Features
-
Manufacturer: Aesculap (B. Braun)
-
Model Number: BC557R
-
Pattern: Mayo
-
Tip Configuration: Curved, Blunt/Blunt
-
Overall Length: 6-1/2 inches (16.5 cm)
-
Material: Premium German surgical stainless steel.
Clinical & Operational Advantages
-
Heavy-Tissue Specialist: Unlike delicate Metzenbaum scissors, these Mayo scissors are built with thicker blades to handle dense muscle and connective tissue without "springing" or losing alignment.
-
German Engineering: Aesculap instruments are renowned for their hardened steel, which maintains a factory-sharp edge significantly longer than economy-grade alternatives.
-
Safe Blunt Dissection: The rounded blunt tips allow for the safe separation of tissue layers, protecting vital structures from accidental nicks or punctures.
-
High-Cycle Durability: Designed for thousands of autoclave cycles, the BC557R resists corrosion and maintains a smooth opening/closing action even after years of heavy clinical use.
Condition
-
Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).
-
Functional Status: The blades are sharp and provide a clean cut along the entire length. The pivot screw is secure, and the tension is correctly calibrated for "no-snag" operation.
-
Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of wear consistent with prior surgical use, including minor surface scuffs and typical sterilization patina. The unit is clean and mechanically sound.
-
Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated surgical protocols prior to use.
Warranty
-
✔ Primis "Sharp-Cut" Guarantee We guarantee the Aesculap BC557R to be fully functional. If the scissors are "burred," fail to cut cleanly at the tips, or have a loose pivot upon arrival, Primis Medical will provide a full refund or replacement.
