Richard Wolf 8488.042 Hooked Scissors Right Curved 3.4mm 8-3/4"

Richard Wolf Rigid Endoscopic Hooked Scissors | Model 8488.042 | 3.4 mm Shaft Outer Diameter Profile | Right Curved Active Cutting Trajectory | 8.75 Inch Total Nominal Length (22.2 cm) | Specialized Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Soft-Tissue Transection Element | Pre-Owned Hospital Surgery Asset (1/EA)

The Richard Wolf 8488.042 is a professional-grade, hospital-level rigid endoscopic surgical cutting tool expertly engineered to capture, stabilize, and cleanly transect delicate tissue sheets, adhesions, and fine ductal structures during minimally invasive procedures. Part of the specialized Richard Wolf rigid endoscopy portfolio, this premium tool features a low-profile 3.4 mm outer diameter shaft with an 8.75 inch total nominal profile length (22.2 cm working footprint). The active distal tip incorporates a specialized hooked scissor configuration paired with a rightward curved orientation. The subtle hook geometry works by mechanically pulling tissue structures inward toward the hinge axis as the blades close, preventing slippery fascial bands or vascular stalks from sliding out of the jaw tips during a cut. Forged from high-tensile, implant-grade German surgical stainless steel with a non-reflective satin finish, this pre-owned endoscopic asset provides a highly durable capital tool optimized to withstand automated washer debridement, dynamic ultrasonic cleaning, and strict dynamic steam autoclave sterilization cycles inside central sterile supply departments (CSSD).
