Vannas scissors are specialized spring scissors designed for precision cutting and often used by scientific researchers.
- Stainless steel and Premium German steel
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. The slender, pointed tips allows for precise cutting with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Manufactured with surgical grade stainless steel, these scissors are durable and resistant to corrosion.
Vannas scissors are popular choice for researchers in fields that require precision cutting, such as biology, neuroscience, and microsurgery.
Common applications include:
Microdissection of small organisms, such as insects or embryos
Preparation of small tissue samples for histological analysis
Cutting thin sections of cells/tissues for viewing under a microscope
Preparation of brain slices for electrophysiological studies
Dissection of small neural circuits
Preparation of brain tissue for imaging or analysis
