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

Sklar Instruments Spencer (Littauer) Stitch Scissors, Sklar, 4-1/2 in., Blunt/Blunt, Straight, Smooth, Finger Rings, Stainless Steel. EA/1.
Spencer (Littauer) Stitch Scissors, Sklar, 4-1/2 in., Blunt/Blunt, Straight, Smooth, Finger Rings, Stainless Steel. Sklar Spencer Stitch Scissors are primarily used for suture removal. These scissors have a small hook shaped tip on one blade that slides under sutures to slightly lift them before cutting for removal. This hook also holds the suture so it does not slip off the blade of the scissors prior to cutting. They are most commonly available in lengths of 3-1/2 in. and 4-1/2 in. and therefore typically have smaller, more delicate tips that are used for removing smaller sutures. They should not be used for cutting tissue. This product is straight with smooth, blunt/blunt tips and a length of 4-1/2 inches.
