Reliance First Aid Scissors, Green Handles
First aid scissors with blunt-blunt blades and green handles, used for safely cutting tape, bandages and dressings during everyday first aid treatment.
These first aid scissors have blunt-blunt blades, a design chosen for safety when cutting close to skin or clothing during first aid treatment, and are finished with green handles for easy identification within a kit. Scissors of this type are one of the most frequently used tools in any first aid kit, used to cut bandages, tape, dressings and clothing when preparing to treat a wound or when removing a dressing that needs to be changed.
The blunt tips reduce the risk of accidentally injuring the casualty while cutting near the skin, which matters when working quickly or in a stressful situation. As a standard component of workplace, vehicle, home and sports first aid kits, scissors like these are typically restocked whenever a kit is refilled or checked, since they can be misplaced or borrowed for non first aid use.
They suit first aiders, nurses, and anyone responsible for maintaining a stocked first aid kit or cabinet.
