Micro Tweezers
Selectable micro tweezers for small-animal microsurgery, fine dissection, electrophysiology-adjacent handling, electrode or optical-fiber manipulation, and microscope-assisted tray buildouts, with stainless steel and titanium options, straight, 45 degree curved, curved, and platform tip geometries, 0.05 x 0.02 mm to 0.4 mm tip-size choices, and 11 cm or 14 cm overall lengths.

Overview
The Micro Tweezers page gives research labs a focused way to select fine tweezers for small-field surgical handling, microdissection, electrophysiology-adjacent work, and microscope-assisted station buildouts. The source family includes #5, #5/45, and #7 micro-tweezer patterns, stainless steel and titanium options, straight, 45 degree curved, curved, and platform tip profiles, 0.05 x 0.02 mm to 0.4 mm tip-size choices, and 11 cm or 14 cm working lengths.
The buying value is tip control. A 0.05 x 0.02 mm #5 straight option supports extremely fine approach work, 45 degree curved options help the operator reach around tissue or adjacent instruments, #7 curved options support angled fine handling, and 14 cm configurations add reach when the field, microscope, or fixture makes a longer instrument useful.
Scientific Use
Micro tweezers are used across rodent microsurgery, fine dissection, ischemia and perfusion preparation, catheter surgery, spinal access, reproductive surgery, electrode handling, optical-fiber handling, and other workflows where a broad forceps would be too blunt or too large. Titanium options are useful when a lab wants a lighter fine instrument, while stainless steel options cover the core surgical tray path.
The page is structured as one selectable product family instead of many thin single-configuration pages. That keeps the scientist on the real decision surface: material, pattern, tip shape, tip size, and length. Pair the selected configuration with micro scissors, Vannas scissors, IRIS/Stevens scissors, needle holders, sutures, magnification, anesthesia, warming, and sterile-field supplies when building a full small-animal station.
Buying Fit
Choose this listing when the lab needs replacement or procedure-specific fine tweezers rather than a full instrument kit. Choose a related ConductScience microsurgery, dissection, or comprehensive surgical kit when the purchase also needs scissors, forceps, needle holders, blades, sutures, and other station components.

Practical Tips
Choose material, tip shape, tip size, and length from the variant menu before adding the item.
Why: Those are the practical configuration differences that determine whether the tweezers fit direct access, angled access, ultra-fine manipulation, or longer reach.
Confirm working distance, fixture clearance, and nearby instruments before choosing 11 cm or 14 cm tweezers.
Why: Fine tweezers need both the correct tip geometry and enough hand clearance to avoid fighting the microscope or support hardware.
Use tip protectors or a dedicated instrument tray and avoid storing micro tweezers loose with heavier instruments.
Why: Very fine tips depend on alignment and tip condition for reliable handling under magnification.

Compliance
Which Micro Tweezers configurations are available?
The page includes #5, #5/45, #7, 14 cm straight/curved, platform, stainless steel, and titanium configurations with listed tip sizes from 0.05 x 0.02 mm through 0.4 mm.
When should I choose straight versus curved tips?
Choose straight tips for direct approach handling. Choose 45 degree curved or curved tips when the operator needs angled access around tissue, retractors, electrodes, optical fibers, or adjacent instruments.
When should I choose titanium instead of stainless steel?
Choose stainless steel for the core surgical tray path. Choose titanium when the workflow benefits from a lighter fine instrument, especially during long microscope-assisted handling sessions.
What does a smaller tip size change?
A smaller listed tip size supports finer contact and manipulation decisions. The 0.05 x 0.02 mm and 0.07 x 0.03 mm options are the finest tip ranges in this family.
What should be ordered with Micro Tweezers for a complete small-animal surgery station?
A complete station may include micro scissors, Vannas scissors, IRIS or Stevens scissors, forceps, needle holders, sutures, magnification, anesthesia, warming, and sterile-field supplies selected around the procedure.
