Vannas Spring Scissors - 3mm cutting edge
These Vannas spring scissors have been designed to maximize visibility under the microscope by eliminating unnecessary bulk in the blades, and they have a long taper which is ideal for cutting vessel walls. The 3 mm straight cutting edge with sharp/sharp tips and 0.05 mm tip diameter makes them a workhorse instrument for microsurgical work on rodent vasculature, nerves, and other delicate tissues.
