Micro Scissors
Selectable 11.5 cm micro scissors for small-animal microsurgery, fine dissection, vessel-adjacent preparation, and microscope-assisted surgical tray buildouts, with straight or curved bevel blades, 9 mm or 14 mm cutting-edge options, and 0.15 mm tips for controlled cutting in compact operative fields.

Overview
The Micro Scissors product family gives research labs a focused way to select 11.5 cm micro scissors for small-field surgical cutting, fine dissection, and microscope-assisted tray buildouts. The source configurations share bevel blades and 0.15 mm tips, then separate the buying decision into straight or curved blade shape and 9 mm or 14 mm cutting-edge length.
Micro scissors sit between broad operating scissors and ultra-fine Vannas scissors in a small-animal instrument set. The 11.5 cm overall length gives a familiar hand-instrument format, while the 0.15 mm tip and bevel blade geometry support controlled cutting around compact mouse, rat, and small-animal surgical fields. A 9 mm edge is useful when the lab wants a shorter cutting surface for precise access; a 14 mm edge gives more cutting length while keeping the same fine-tip family.
Scientific Use
These scissors are a practical fit for microsurgery stations, ischemia and perfusion preparation, catheter surgery, fine dissection, tissue trimming, and procedure-specific surgical trays where standard surgical scissors are too broad but a Vannas-only tray is too narrow. Straight blades support direct approach cuts, while curved blades help the operator work around tissue, retractors, forceps, or nearby support tools in a compact field.
The page is structured as one selectable product family instead of six separate source rows. That keeps the buying decision focused on the actual scientist question: straight or curved, 9 mm or 14 mm cutting edge, and whether the lab is adding a replacement micro scissor or building a complete small-animal surgery station.
Buying Fit
Choose this listing when the lab needs a general micro-scissor family for small-field cutting rather than a full procedure kit. Pair the selected configuration with Vannas scissors, micro tweezers, forceps, needle holders, anesthesia, warming, magnification, and sterile-field supplies when building a complete surgical station.

Practical Tips
Select straight or curved blades and a 9 mm or 14 mm cutting edge from the variant menu before adding the item.
Why: Those are the source-supported differences that determine whether the scissors fit direct access, curved approach, shorter controlled cuts, or a longer fine cutting edge.
Pair the scissors with Vannas scissors, micro tweezers, forceps, needle holders, sutures, magnification, anesthesia, and warming when building a full rodent surgery station.
Why: Micro scissors are often one fine-cutting component in a broader small-field surgical workflow.
Use a protective instrument tray or case and handle the 0.15 mm tips as precision microsurgical edges.
Why: Fine tip protection helps preserve cutting performance and reduces avoidable instrument replacement.

Compliance
Which Micro Scissors configurations are available?
The page offers four public configurations: straight or curved bevel blades with either a 9 mm or 14 mm cutting edge. All configurations are 11.5 cm overall length with 0.15 mm tips.
When should I choose straight versus curved micro scissors?
Choose straight blades when the workflow favors direct approach cutting. Choose curved blades when angled access helps the operator work around tissue, retractors, forceps, or nearby instruments in a compact field.
When should I choose the 9 mm versus 14 mm cutting edge?
Choose the 9 mm edge for shorter controlled cuts and fine access. Choose the 14 mm edge when the workflow benefits from a longer cutting surface while keeping the same 0.15 mm tip family.
How are these different from Vannas spring scissors?
Vannas scissors are the more ultra-fine spring-scissor family on this import batch, with smaller tip options and shorter cutting edges. These Micro Scissors are 11.5 cm instruments with 0.15 mm tips and 9 mm or 14 mm cutting edges, making them a broader micro-cutting option for surgical trays.
What should be ordered with Micro Scissors for a full small-animal surgery setup?
A complete station may include Vannas scissors, micro tweezers, eye tweezers, mosquito forceps, needle holders, sutures, magnification, anesthesia, warming, and sterile-field supplies selected around the procedure.
