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
Med Vet International Miltex Vantage Iris Scissors, 4.125in, Straight

World Precision Instrument Iris Scissors, 11.5cm, Straight, 12-pack, Disposable
Iris scissors were originally designed for ophthalmic procedures but are now used in a wide range of applications. The tips are sharp, and they come in curved, straight or angled styles.
World Precision Instrument Micro Scissors, 12 cm, Diamond Coated Blades, Straight
The special diamond coated blades will increase the longevity of the cutting edge and improve the qulaity of the cut. Used to reduce wear on razor blades and industrial metal cutting tools, this coating is now being used in biomedical applications. Some studies have shown that even after double the normal usage of the cutting implement, no blade wear was detected.
World Precision Instrument WPI Premium Vannas Spring Scissors, 9 cm Long, 3 mm Tips, 6 mm Blades
Our Vannas 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 scissors are distinguished by their delicate, thin, sharp tips. These surgical scissors are 9cm long and have 6mm straight 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. Like all spring scissors, these are an excellent choice for left-handed operators, because they can be used ambidextrously. These Vannas scissors are made of surgical grade stainless steel. 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.
World Precision Instrument Mini Dissecting Scissors, 8.5cm, Straight, Sharp tips
Our Mini Dissecting Scissors are similar to regular dissecting scissors, but they are shorter and have more delicate tips, making them ideal for fine dissection work in tight spaces. They are commonly used in microsurgery, like ophthalmic surgery. These scissors are 8.5 cm (3.3") long and have straight or curved blades with blunt or sharp tips and fine blades. Our dissecting scissors are for general use in dissection, preparation of tissue samples, and small animal surgeries. Dissecting scissors have thinner (and often longer) blades than operating scissors. They are designed for cutting and probing in tight spaces. These are available in surgical grade stainless steel. Our Dissecting Scissors are designed to withstand the high heat and chemical exposure of the sterilization process. They may be autoclaved. To guarantee a long life for your surgical instruments, be sure to clean them thoroughly after each use.
World Precision Instrument Vannas Tubingen Scissors, 8cm, Straight, German Steel
Vannas Tübingen scissors are specialized microsurgical scissors that are highly precise and delicate, commonly used in ophthalmic and neurological procedures. They are named after Tübingen, a city in Germany, where the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics is located. Vannas Tübingen scissors are incredibly fine instruments, crafted of high-quality surgical grade stainless steel with extreme precision. Their design includes thin, and sharp blades, which allow for highly accurate and precise cutting in microsurgical settings. The tips of these scissors are exceptionally sharp and thin, enabling them to access and cut very fine and delicate tissues without causing unnecessary damage to surrounding structures. This is especially crucial in delicate surgeries, such as in ophthalmic procedures, where precision is paramount. The blades of Vannas Tübingen scissors can be curved or straight.
