Trepsat Elevator Scissors, 18 cm (Small, Medium, or Large Dissecting Blades)

Overview

The Trepsat Elevator Scissors were developed by Dr. Frank Trepsat, a French plastic surgeon known for his contributions to facial and neck surgery. These specialized instruments are designed to support tissue elevation, dissection, and plane development during facial and neck procedures requiring controlled access and visibility.

Combining elevator and scissor functionality within a single instrument, the Trepsat Elevator Scissors are commonly selected for procedures involving soft tissue dissection and flap elevation. Multiple blade sizes allow clinicians to select an instrument based on the anatomical area being addressed and procedural preference.

Manufactured from German surgical stainless steel, these instruments are designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated sterilization.

Please Note: These instruments are sold individually.

Instrument Insight

• The Trepsat Elevator Scissor pattern was developed to combine tissue elevation and dissection functions within a single instrument.

• Multiple blade sizes allow clinicians to select a working profile based on anatomical access requirements and tissue plane characteristics.

• Smaller blade configurations are commonly selected for detailed dissection, while larger blade profiles may be utilized when broader tissue engagement is desired.

• The 18 cm length provides reach and visibility while maintaining maneuverability within facial and cervical operative fields.

Why Material Matters

• German surgical stainless steel is widely used for its balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.

• Suitable for repeated sterilization when properly maintained.

• Commonly used in reusable surgical instruments intended for long-term clinical use.
