SCHUMACHER scissors – For safe and controlled episiotomy
The SCHUMACHER model from Frimed is specially designed to meet the requirements of gynaecological practice, particularlyepisiotomy procedures. Used during childbirth, these scissors allow a controlled perineal incision to be made when the passage of the foetus requires enlargement of the vaginal opening.
What sets the SCHUMACHER apart is its specific design with a straight lower blade and a curved upper blade ending in a foam tip. This shape allows the practitioner to position the scissors precisely, grasp the tissue without injuring sensitive areas, and make the cut safely. The rounded tip prevents accidental perforations, which is essential during rapid procedures in the delivery room. The blades open along an anatomical trajectory, adapted to the needs of the obstetrician.
The 16 cm length offers the perfect compromise between reach and manoeuvrability. The instrument is easy to handle with one hand and can be adapted to hands of various sizes thanks to its balanced rings. Made of medical-grade stainless steel, the SCHUMACHER is designed to withstand corrosion and high-temperature sterilisation protocols, ensuring a long service life even with intensive use.
The cutting geometry, combined with an excellent finish, guarantees a clean, clear incision. This precision reduces the risk of uncontrolled tissue tearing and promotes better postpartum healing. This model is suitable for hospitals, clinics and practices performing vaginal deliveries.
The SCHUMACHER is a reliable tool for medical procedures, combining patient safety and operator comfort. It is an essential item in any obstetric technical tray.
