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 Mini Dissecting Scissors, 9.5cm, Straight, Sharp, Fine tips
Our Mini Dissecting Scissors with Large Rings 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 dissecting scissors have large rings for people with larger fingers. These scissors are 9.5cm (3.75") long and have straight blades with rounded tips and fine blades. (Standard and medium blades are also available on our Mini Dissecting Scissors. 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. Their tips are pointed, where operating scissors are generally blunt. These are available in surgical grade stainless steel.
