Overview
The Vannas Spring Scissors product family gives a lab a focused way to select Vannas-style spring scissors for microsurgical cutting and fine dissection. The source configurations cover straight and curved blade shapes, bevel and triangular edge geometry, 2.5 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm cutting edges, 0.075 mm and 0.1 mm tip diameters, stainless steel and titanium material options, and 7.7 cm to 9 cm overall lengths.
Vannas scissors are useful when a standard surgical scissor is too large for the field. In small-animal surgery trays, they are commonly selected for controlled micro-cutting, trimming, vessel-adjacent preparation, ocular-style tissue handling, and compact dissection work where the buyer needs very fine tips and a short cutting edge. The selectable configurations let the scientist choose between a shorter 2.5 mm cutting edge for fine access, a 5 mm general microsurgical edge, or an 8 mm curved option when a longer cutting edge and curved approach are preferred.
Scientific Use
For rodent surgery and neuroscience workflows, Vannas scissors often sit next to micro tweezers, eye tweezers, vessel clips, needle holders, sutures, and magnification. They are especially relevant when the lab is building or refreshing cerebral ischemia, myocardial ischemia, self-administration, brain perfusion, spinal, or other small-field surgical stations and wants the scissor geometry to match the procedure rather than using one broad-purpose cutting tool.
The configuration selector is the main buying decision. Straight scissors can support direct approach cuts, curved scissors can improve access around a compact field, triangular geometry gives a distinct fine-tip profile, titanium supports labs that prefer lighter fine instruments, and the 0.075 mm tip option offers the finest available tip diameter in this family.
Buying Fit
Choose this page when the lab needs a replacement or procedure-specific Vannas scissor rather than a full kit. Choose a related ConductScience microsurgery or surgical kit when the purchasing need includes forceps, needle holders, vessel clips, sutures, and other station components in the same order.

Practical Tips
Select blade shape, edge geometry, cutting-edge length, tip diameter, and material from the variant menu before adding the item.
Why: Those are the source-supported differences that determine whether the scissors fit direct cutting, curved access, fine-tip work, or lightweight titanium preference.
Pair the scissors with micro tweezers, vessel clips or forceps, needle holders, sutures, magnification, and warming/anesthesia support when building a full rodent surgery station.
Why: Vannas scissors are often one fine-cutting component in a broader small-field surgical workflow.
Use a protective instrument tray or case and handle the tips as precision microsurgical edges.
Why: The tips are 0.075 mm or 0.1 mm, so storage and handling matter for long-term cutting performance.

Compliance
Which Vannas scissor configurations are available?
The page offers straight and curved configurations with bevel or triangular edge geometry, 2.5 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm cutting edges, 0.075 mm or 0.1 mm tips, stainless steel options, and a titanium curved bevel option.
When should I choose straight versus curved Vannas scissors?
Choose straight blades when the workflow favors a direct approach. Choose curved blades when the cutting path benefits from approach angle, side access, or working around nearby instruments in a compact field.
What does the 0.075 mm tip option change?
The 0.075 mm configuration is the finest available tip diameter in this family and is paired with a 2.5 mm cutting edge for very fine microsurgical cutting decisions.
Are these useful as replacements for surgical kits?
Yes. Vannas scissors are a common fine-cutting component in microsurgery, ischemia, perfusion, self-administration, and spinal surgery trays, so this family can be used for replacement or procedure-specific tray completion.
What should be ordered with Vannas scissors for a full small-animal surgery setup?
A complete station may include micro tweezers, eye tweezers, mosquito forceps, vessel clips, clip forceps, needle holders, sutures, magnification, anesthesia, warming, and sterile-field supplies selected around the procedure.
