Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors

Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors

The Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors combine the precision blade design of the Vannas pattern with a longer 5 mm cutting edge and 8.5 cm overall length, making them ideal for slightly deeper microsurgical cuts while preserving the ultra-fine 0.05 mm tip and sharp/sharp configuration. A staple instrument across neurosurgery, ophthalmic surgery and vascular microsurgery in rodents.

Peer-reviewed research using Fine Science Tools microsurgery instruments

Fine Science Tools microsurgery instruments — including forceps, scissors, and surgical clips — are standard in animal surgery labs worldwide. They are cited across thousands of neuroscience, physiology, and pharmacology studies involving rodent surgeries, stereotaxic procedures, and tissue preparation.

What is the Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors used for in microsurgery?

The Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors are precision micro scissors used for cutting fine tissue, vessel walls, and nerves under the microscope, particularly when a slightly longer 5 mm cutting edge is needed. They are widely used in rodent neurosurgery, ophthalmic surgery, and vascular microsurgery.

What material is the Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors made from?

The Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors are manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel (Inox), providing excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and autoclave compatibility.

Is the Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors autoclavable and reusable?

Yes. The Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors withstand standard autoclave cycles (121 °C, 15 min) and can be reused across multiple procedures when properly cleaned and inspected per FST's care instructions for spring scissors.

Which animal species is the Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors appropriate for?

The Vannas-Tübingen Spring Scissors are dimensioned for microsurgical work on mice and rats, matching the anatomical scale of standard rodent models while offering a slightly longer reach than the standard 3 mm Vannas pattern.

How does the Vannas-Tübingen differ from the standard Vannas Spring Scissors?

The Vannas-Tübingen pattern (15003-08) offers a 5 mm cutting edge and 8.5 cm overall length, versus the 3 mm cutting edge and 8 cm length of the standard Vannas (15000-00). The longer cutting edge gives slightly more reach for cuts where a fuller stroke is needed, while keeping the same 0.05 mm sharp/sharp tip geometry.
