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

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.
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.
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.
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.

Precision Safety and Design

BANDAGE SCISSORS feature a blunt, angled tip to prevent accidental injury to the patient, offering maximum safety during usage. The serrated lower blade provides a secure grip on bandages or dressings, ensuring clean and controlled cuts every time. Their finger hole grip and ambidextrous orientation make them comfortable for any healthcare professional to use.

Superior Durability and Hygiene

Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, these scissors are resistant to rust and corrosion. They are fully autoclavable and can be sterilized repeatedly without affecting their structure or sharpness. Individually packed, they maintain hygiene standards, making them suitable for medical, surgical, and emergency environments.

Versatile and Convenient Usage

Designed for medical, surgical, and first aid purposes, BANDAGE SCISSORS are lightweight, portable, and operate silently. Their easy maintenance, compliance with safety standards, and unlimited shelf life with proper care ensure they remain an indispensable tool for healthcare providers.
