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 Castroviejo Curved Scissors, 12cm, Curved, Titanium
Castroviejo titanium scissors are surgical scissors designed for precise cutting in delicate surgical procedures like ophthalmic surgery, microsurgery, microdissection, and other procedures requiring precision cutting. Titanium Castroviejo scissors are 40% lighter than the stainless-steel varieties, reducing hand fatigue. Titanium is known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. It is non-magnetic, and it won’t rust. Castroviejo scissors are spring scissors with a fine and slender design, allowing for precise and controlled cutting. The blades are sharp and tapered, making them suitable for intricate tasks. These two sizes of Castroviejo titanium scissors have curved blades. One has 16 mm tips and the other has 11 mm blunted tips. Curved blades are often used for tasks requiring a more angled approach. The tips of Castroviejo scissors are fine, allowing for precise entry into tissues without causing unnecessary trauma.
World Precision Instrument Vannas Spring Scissors, 8cm, Straight, Titanium
Our Vannas spring scissors are specialized spring scissors designed for precision cutting and often used by scientific researchers. They are named after the Swedish scientist Gunnar Vannas who invented them in the 1940s. Compared with other spring scissors, Vannas spring scissors are distinguished by their delicate, thin, sharp tips. These surgical scissors have 3mm blades and sharp tips. The slender, pointed tips allows for precise cutting with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Choose between straight or angled on the flat blades. Manufactured with titanium, these scissors are non-magnetic, lightweight, durable and resistant to corrosion. Like all spring scissors, these are an excellent choice for left-handed operators, because they can be used ambidextrously. To properly care for your surgical instruments, these scissors should be cleaned immediately after use to ensure a long service life and minimize staining or corrosion. These Vannas are autoclavable.
