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 Tenotomy Scissors, 11.5cm, SuperCut, Straight, German
Tenotomy scissors are used for delicate procedures. With the long handle and thin tapered blades, the tenotomy scissors are able to cut tissues in hard to reach, limited spaces. These sharp, straight scissors make small, precision cuts, and they are perfect for delicate operations. The longer handles help to control the precision of these tenotomy scissors in restricted spaces or with delicate membranes or tissues, like brain tissue or ophthalmic surgeries. These scissors are designed for probing and cutting in tight spots. A precision pair of scissors like the tenotomy scissors limits the damage to surrounding tissues, which is critical in neurosurgery and other applications.
