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 Spring Scissors, 10.5cm, Curved, 8mm Blades, German
Spring scissors are fine surgical instruments for making small, precision cuts. They are 10.5cm long, and fit comfortably into your hand. The spring mechanism that allows for smooth, precise cutting action, which reduces the risk of tissue damage or trauma. Choose either straight or curved for the 8mm blade. The curved surgical scissors are often used in ophthalmology to make precise incisions in the cornea or delicate tissues. The curved tip gives greater visibility at the tip of the scissors. The straight blades are more often used in microdissection, microsurgery or plastic surgery. The spring handled surgical scissors are preferred by left-handed surgeons, because they can be used ambidextrously. This gives the left-handed surgeon a more natural cutting action, which means the surgeon has greater control of the tip and the cutting movement.
