Frequently Asked Questions: Microsurgical Instruments

For which procedures are micro scissors recommended?

These scissors are commonly used for cutting vessel walls, skin, and delicate tissues during microvascular anastomosis, ophthalmic surgery and nerve repair. Premium stainless steel versions offer durability and maintain sharpness, ensuring a clean cut in these critical applications.

How do micro scissors minimize tissue damage?

They have small, sharp blades and a high degree of precision that enable quick, accurate cuts with minimal trauma. Choosing a tip length that matches the incision depth ensures optimal control

Why are micro scissors considered ambidextrous?

The design of Vannas scissors allows them to be used equally well in the left or right hand, which is advantageous when surgeons need to switch hands during delicate dissection

Which tip styles are available and when should they be used?

Micro scissors are offered with straight, angled or curved tips. Straight blades are used for general incisions; curved blades improve visualization and help avoid cutting underlying tissue; angled blades facilitate access in confined or awkward angles

What are microvascular or microsurgical scissors?

Micro scissors—often called spring or Vannas scissors—are fine, spring‑loaded scissors used for delicate dissection in neurosurgical and ophthalmologic procedures. They work well in small, restricted spaces.
