Braun-Stadler Episiotomy Scissors

Essential Obstetric Instruments for Controlled Perineal Incision with Braun-Stadler Episiotomy Scissors

The Braun-Stadler Episiotomy Scissors are a cornerstone of obstetric surgery, specifically engineered to perform precise mediolateral or midline incisions during labor. Featuring a signature angled blade design, these scissors allow the clinician to navigate the perineal area with maximum visibility while the blunt-tipped lower blade protects the fetal head and maternal tissues from accidental trauma.

Crafted from premium AISI-420 medical-grade stainless steel, these scissors offer a perfect balance of sharpness, durability, and corrosion resistance.
