Bariatric scissors are long dissecting scissors that are often used in procedures used to treat obesity through the application of a gastric band. Various patterns of scissors are used in the procedure which often requires the resecting, rerouting of the small intenstine, and/or removal of a portion of the stomach during biliopancreativ diversion or sleeve gastrectomy.
Popular patterns include Metzenbaum-Melson, Mayo, Parametrium Scissors, and styles with extra-long and flexible shafts.
