Scissors
Hand-held instruments designed to cut thin materials, such as paper and cloth, consisting of two blades laid one on top of the other; products may be intended for use in specific applications such as cutting tissue or bone, dissections, etc.
Scissors are used in the laboratory to cut various materials. Some are for general use and others are designed specifically for tissue dissection or surgery.
Scissors are hand-operated tools that consist of a pair of metal blades with handles. The blades pivot to bring the sharpened edges in contact with each other, an action that cuts the material placed between the blades.
Scissors are selected based on specific features:
- Size or length: Blade length is key, as is the overall length of the scissors
- Shank-to-blade ratio: The length of the handles compared to the length of the cutting blade; the ratio helps determine the force needed to product a cut
- Type of handles: Straight, offset
- Material: Stainless steel is typically used for surgical scissors; some surgical scissors also have tungsten carbide cutting surfaces for hardness and durability
- Tips: Blade ends may be pointed, semi-blunt, or blunt (rounded)
- Blade shape: Straight, curved, or angled (bent); curved or angled blades may provide better access to areas with limited space

World Precision Instrument Micro Scissors, 12 cm, Diamond Coated Blades, Straight
The special diamond coated blades will increase the longevity of the cutting edge and improve the qulaity of the cut. Used to reduce wear on razor blades and industrial metal cutting tools, this coating is now being used in biomedical applications. Some studies have shown that even after double the normal usage of the cutting implement, no blade wear was detected.

Iris scissors were originally designed for ophthalmic procedures but are now used in a wide range of applications. The tips are sharp, and they come in curved, straight or angled styles.
World Precision Instrument Mini Dissecting Scissors, 8.5cm, Curved, Sharp tips
Our Mini Dissecting Scissors are similar to regular dissecting scissors, but they are shorter and have more delicate tips, making them ideal for fine dissection work in tight spaces. They are commonly used in microsurgery, like ophthalmic surgery. These scissors are 8.5 cm (3.3") long and have straight or curved blades with blunt or sharp tips and fine blades. Our dissecting scissors are for general use in dissection, preparation of tissue samples, and small animal surgeries. Dissecting scissors have thinner (and often longer) blades than operating scissors. They are designed for cutting and probing in tight spaces. These are available in surgical grade stainless steel. Our Dissecting Scissors are designed to withstand the high heat and chemical exposure of the sterilization process. They may be autoclaved. To guarantee a long life for your surgical instruments, be sure to clean them thoroughly after each use.
