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 Spring Scissors, Super Cut, 10 cm
Our Spring Scissors with one serrated blade are surgical scissors designed for making small, precision cuts. They are 10cm long, and fit comfortably into your hand. These spring scissors have one edge that is serrated and one that is sharp. The serrations provide a firm grasp of the tissue when the sharp blade shears the tissue. The end result is a clean cut with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. These have straight or angled tips. The spring mechanism that allows for smooth, precise cutting action, which reduces the risk of tissue damage or trauma. The spring scissors also help to mitigate hand fatigue, because they spring back naturally after you make your cut. The spring handled surgical scissors are preferred by left-handed surgeons, because they can be used ambidextrously. This gives the left-handed surgeon a more natural cutting action, which means the surgeon has greater control of the tip and the cutting movement.
