Dissection Kits & Tools
Dissection kits and precision dissecting instruments are used in veterinary practices, medical training facilities, biological research departments, wildlife and conservation labs, and school Life Sciences classrooms across South Africa. SmartLabs stocks complete 9-piece dissection kit sets, individual scalpel handles and replaceable blades, stainless steel forceps, surgical scissors, dissecting needles, magnifiers, and wooden dissecting boards, with prices from R5 for plastic tweezers to R900 for a wax-filled dissecting tray.
How to choose the right dissection tools
For professional specimen work in veterinary, research, or medical training settings, invest in individual surgical-grade steel instruments: fine-point forceps, curved iris scissors, and high-quality scalpel handles with replaceable blades. For school Life Sciences practicals, a standard 9-piece dissection kit covers all CAPS requirements cost-effectively. If you need to equip a full laboratory, SmartLabs can quote on class sets or professional instrument packs.
Frequently asked questions
Are these instruments suitable for veterinary or research use?
Yes. Our stainless steel forceps, scissors, and scalpels are used in veterinary practices, research facilities, and medical training departments, not just school classrooms.
Are the scalpel blades replaceable?
Yes. Our scalpels use standard No. 3 and No. 4 handles, and replacement blades are sold separately so you only replace what wears out.
Can I order in bulk for a laboratory or institution?
Yes. Contact SmartLabs with your required quantities and we will put together a competitive quote for institutional or bulk orders.
