Metzenbaum scissors are a type of surgical scissor used for dissecting and cutting delicate tissues. The scissors in the image are a straight, blunt-tipped (B/B or blunt/blunt) version, with a length of 14.5 cm. This design is often used for blunt dissection and for working with sensitive tissue layers. They are characterized by a long shank-to-blade ratio, which allows for deep tissue dissection without the handles getting in the way. They are typically made from stainless steel and may have tungsten carbide cutting surface inserts for increased durability
