Laparoscopic surgical scissors having a handle assembly and a scissor assembly are disclosed. The handle assembly has a handle body and an actuator which is moveable towards and away from the handle body. The scissor assembly includes an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a longitudinal shaft axis wherein the elongate shaft is connected to the handle assembly at the proximal end of the elongate shaft. The scissor assembly is characterised by also including first 20 and second 30 blades with curved sections 52, 62 extending from the distal end of the elongate shaft, where the first blade 20 has a centre of curvature medial to the blade, making it largely C-shaped, and the second blade has a first centre of curvature 68 medial to the blade and a distal, second centre of curvature 70 lateral to the blade, making it largely S-shaped. A method for making a second blade for the laparoscopic surgical scissors is also disclosed. |
