What Are Dissecting Scissors?
Dissecting scissors are medical instruments used for cutting anatomical structures in a medical or laboratory setting. Usually made of stainless steel or titanium for easy sterilization, dissecting scissors are usually sharper and more durable than ordinary kitchen scissors. Higher end versions may have tungsten-carbine blade inserts, which extends the useful life of the scissors by preventing premature dulling. Among the many varieties available, the choice of dissecting scissors is often determined by two variables — the nature of the material being cut, and its accessibility.
