Overview
The Cerebral Ischemia Surgical Kit is a mouse and rat cerebral ischemia instrument kit for small-animal ischemic stroke model preparation. It combines cutting, fine handling, vessel-control, retraction, needle-holding, and closure materials in one procedure-focused tray: straight surgical scissors, straight eye scissors, 45 degree curved eye tweezers, two curved micro tweezer tip sizes, straight and curved Vannas scissors, straight blood vessel clips, 10 cm clip forceps, a 2x2 blunt retractor, a tungsten-jaw needle holder, suture needles, and #4-0/#6-0 non-absorbable sutures.
For cerebral ischemia workflows, the value is the combination of microdissection and vessel-control tools. Curved micro tweezers and Vannas scissors support fine-field handling and cutting, while the 0.7 cm vessel clips and clip forceps support temporary vessel-control planning. The retractor and closure materials help the lab stage the surgical field and closure workflow without building the tray from unrelated general instruments.
Scientific Use
Cerebral ischemia model work is used in preclinical neuroscience to study ischemic injury, neuroprotection, vascular intervention timing, reperfusion biology, behavioral outcomes, histology, and downstream tissue analysis. A dedicated instrument kit helps standardize the procurement side of the model station so the same cutting, fine handling, vessel-control, and closure groups are reviewed together before cohorts are scheduled.
Buying Fit
Choose this kit when the lab needs a cerebral ischemia procedure tray rather than a general surgery or dissection kit. Pair it with ConductScience MCAO sutures, anesthesia delivery, warming, magnification, and monitoring products to build the surrounding surgical station.
Features & Benefits
Model fit
- Mouse and rat cerebral ischemia model work
Kit scope
- 14 included instrument and closure-material line items
Microdissection
- Curved micro tweezers plus straight and curved Vannas scissors with 0.1 mm tips
Vessel control
- Straight vessel clips with 0.7 cm jaws plus 10 cm clip forceps
Closure materials
- 3/8 suture needle pack with #4-0 and #6-0 non-absorbable sutures
Plan separately
- MCAO or vascular consumables when needed, anesthesia, warming, magnification, monitoring, and sterile-field setup
Practical Tips
Review the 0.7 cm vessel clip pack and 10 cm clip forceps against the planned cerebral ischemia model and animal size range.
Why: Vessel-control tools are a key buying decision for cerebral ischemia workflows and should be planned with the selected MCAO or vascular approach.
Stage the curved micro tweezers and straight/curved Vannas scissors separately from general cutting tools.
Why: Keeping micro tools organized helps reduce instrument substitution during fine-field steps.
Review anesthesia, warming, monitoring, magnification, MCAO sutures, and downstream histology or behavioral testing with the kit request.
Why: The instrument tray is most useful when it is matched to the full ischemia station and outcome workflow.

Compliance
What is included in the Cerebral Ischemia Surgical Kit?
The kit includes straight surgical scissors, straight eye scissors, 45 degree curved eye tweezers, curved micro tweezers in 0.15 mm and 0.3 mm tip sizes, straight and curved Vannas scissors, straight blood vessel clips, 10 cm clip forceps, a 2x2 blunt retractor, tungsten-jaw needle holder, 3/8 suture needles, and #4-0/#6-0 non-absorbable sutures.
Which animal workflows does it support?
The source kit is specified for cerebral ischemia development in mice and rats. Review animal size range, model approach, and closure preference when placing the order.
Are vessel-control tools included?
Yes. The kit includes straight blood vessel clips with 0.7 cm jaws and a 10 cm blood vessel clip forceps.
How is this different from a general surgery kit?
This kit adds cerebral-ischemia-relevant micro tweezers, Vannas scissors, vessel clips, clip forceps, retractor, and closure materials in one small-animal ischemia tray.
What should be paired with this kit?
Common station planning includes MCAO sutures when relevant, anesthesia delivery, warming, magnification, monitoring, sterile supplies, and downstream histology, imaging, or behavioral testing support.
