Scissors, scalpels & dissecting instruments

A disposable scalpel comes sterile, needs no assembly and avoids the cutting risk of changing blades. A handle with separate blades is more economical when you cut a lot. Blade numbers only fit the matching handle size, so check the combination on the product page. Never recap a used blade. Dispose of used blades in a sharps container; see sharps containers, absorbents and spill kits. Need advice for your set-up? Mail sales@luminixhealth.com.

Sharp/sharp tips suit fine work and dissection. Sharp/blunt or blunt/blunt tips avoid damaging tissue where you only need to cut along it. Curved blades help when you work close to surfaces or around structures. For very fine work, choose micro scissors. Serrated blades grip slippery tissue better, so it does not slide away during the cut. Many users pair scissors with fine forceps from tweezers and forceps.

Stainless steel instruments can generally be sterilised in an autoclave. Clean and dry them first, so residues do not cause stains or corrosion during the cycle. Open hinged instruments, such as scissors, before autoclaving so steam reaches every surface. Check the product page for any restrictions on temperature or cycle type. Dry the instruments fully after the cycle. Equipment is in autoclaves and sterilisers. Questions about a specific product? Contact sales@luminixhealth.com.

The basics are scalpels, scissors, forceps, probes and section lifters. A dissection set bundles these in one case, which is practical for teaching, for fieldwork and for setting up a new workstation. For histology, add cassettes and moulds to embed and process the tissue further. Keep the instruments clean and sharp, and store them dry in their case. See histology cassettes and moulds and tweezers and forceps. Unsure which one fits? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

Scissors, scalpels and dissecting instruments cut or hold tissue and tough samples. The edge and the shape, blunt or sharp, straight or curved, are the specification. A dissecting set is not a surgical implant set.

The small tools of the bench are what the hand actually holds: a spatula for a powder, forceps for an object that must stay clean, a brush for a narrow neck, a desiccator when a dried sample must not take up water again. None of these reads a measurement. They keep the measurement possible. The apparatus around them is listed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
