About BANDAGE SCISSORS

Bandage scissors

Bandage scissors, also known as bandage forceps, are specialized scissors designed for safely cutting bandages without gouging the skin. They typically feature an angled tip with a blunt tip on the bottom blade, allowing for precise and gentle cutting.

Types of Bandage Scissors

1. Lister Bandage Scissors: Known for their German Stainless Steel construction, these scissors are commonly used for sizing dressings and removing circumferential bandages. The tip of the lower blade features a flattened blunt nodule to prevent skin harm.
2. Utility Bandage Scissors: These scissors are designed for general-purpose use, featuring thick, serrated blades for effortless cutting through various materials, including rope, clothing, athletic tape, and plastic.
3. High-Level Bandage Scissors (Knowles): These scissors are designed for precision cutting, with angled jaws and a slightly longer lower blade. They are suitable for cutting tougher materials like plaster, fabric, and umbilical cord.
4. Left-Handed Bandage Scissors: Specifically designed for left-handed users, these scissors have the same features as regular bandage scissors but are reversed for comfortable use.
