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 Student Vannas Spring Scissors, 9cm, Curved, 500 micron Tip
Our Vannas spring scissors are specialized spring scissors designed for precision cutting and often used by scientific researchers. They are named after the Swedish scientist Gunnar Vannas who invented them in the 1940s. Compared with other spring scissors, Vannas spring scissors are distinguished by their delicate, thin, sharp tips. The slender, pointed tips allows for precise cutting with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Like all spring scissors, they are perfect for ambidextrous use and are often preferred by left-handed people. Manufactured with surgical grade stainless steel, these scissors are durable and resistant to corrosion. Our titanium scissors are lightweight and non-magnetic. These Vannas have a fine 500µm tip and 8mm blades, making them suitable for surgery on small animals or researchers working with delicate tissues. They are autoclavable. Like all fine surgical instruments, these Vannas surgical scissors should be cleaned promptly after every use.

Ring-handled Dissecting Scissors are surgical scissors commonly used to cut and separate delicate tissues. These scissors are 10 or 12.5 cm long. These dissecting scissors are available with straight or curved 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. Their tips are pointed, where operating scissors are generally blunt. These are available in surgical grade stainless steel or premium German 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.
