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, 14cm, Round Handles, Curved, 7mm Blades, Standard
Round handle spring scissors have a rounded, ergonomic handle design and a spring mechanism that allows for smooth, precise cutting action. The rounded handle design offers a comfortable and natural grip, reducing hand fatigue and improving control during use. This can be especially beneficial for long procedures that require a lot of cutting. The spring mechanism provides a smooth, precise cutting action, which reduces the risk of tissue damage or trauma. The 6.5mm curved blade is often used in ophthalmology to make precise incisions in the cornea or delicate tissues. The straight blades are more often used in microdissection, microsurgery or plastic surgery. These stainless steel spring scissors are durable and may be sterilized by chemical sterilant or autoclaving.
