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 Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder with Suture Scissors, 16.5cm, Serrated, TC Inserts, SS
Olsen-Hegar Needle Holders are a dual purpose surgical instrument, combining the functions of a needle holder and surgical scissors into one instrument. This is ideal for suturing, because you can grasp the needle for stitching and use the integrated scissors for trimming the ends without reaching for a different surgical instrument. Streamline your suturing process and save time. Simultaneously, you can reduce the risk of dropping needles. Designed but the American surgeon Dr. George Olsen and gynecologist Dr. Douglas Hegar, the Olsen-Hegar needle holders are often used in orthopedics, plastic surgery, and any application requiring surturing. Life science researchers doing in vivo animal studies like implanting electrodes would also find this instrument useful. Researchers working with microinjection or microfluidics would also benefit from the dual use of this needle holder/scissors combination.
