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
Enterprise Technology Solutions Fiskars Scissors,f/Children,Safety Edge Blades,Blunt,5",AST
Blunt-tip Kids Scissors are thoughtfully designed for small hands and creative minds: safety-edge blades and a handle specially engineered for children. Innovative, safety-edge blades are made with a safer blade angle. Blunt tip provides added safety while cutting all classroom materials. Larger finger loop and an ergonomic thumb loop also provide a natural, more comfortable fit for small fingers. Optimized opening angle helps children open the blades without losing their grip for improved control. Handle is built to be inline with the blades to allow better precision while cutting in the air. These scissors are ideal for children four and up.
World Precision Instrument Spring Scissors, 12 cm, Curved, Extra Fine Tips
Spring scissors are a common type of surgical scissor that have a spring action for quick, clean cuts in microsurgery or dissection of delicate tissues. These spring scissors have long (12mm) extra fine blades which gives you greater control in confined spaces. These spring scissors have small, sharp, pointed tips. While they are suitable for use by both left- and right-handed surgeons, they are often preferred by left-handed surgeons. Designed with a symmetrical handle, they are comfortable for ambidextrous use. Left-handed surgeons can use them without any discomfort or awkwardness, unlike some other surgical instruments designed specifically for right-handed use. Left-handed surgeons may find it easier to maneuver the scissors with their left hand, which is typically more dexterous when it comes to fine motor skills. Spring scissors have an ergonomic design for a natural feel with intuitive control.
World Precision Instrument Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder with Suture Scissors, 14cm, German
Olsen-Hegar Needle Holders with Suture Scissors 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.
