Reliance Nurse Scissors, Stainless Steel, 12.5cm
Stainless steel nurse scissors measuring 12.5cm, available with sharp-sharp or sharp-blunt points, used for everyday cutting tasks in clinical settings.
5cm in length, a standard size for the everyday cutting tasks nurses and clinical staff perform on a ward or in a treatment room. This listing covers two point options, a sharp-sharp version for general purpose cutting and a sharp-blunt version, where the blunt tip reduces the risk of accidentally injuring a patient when cutting close to the skin, such as when removing a bandage or dressing.
Stainless steel construction supports repeated use and sterilisation between patients, which matters for an instrument used frequently throughout a shift. Nurse scissors of this type are used for cutting tape, gauze, bandages and clothing, and are considered a basic, essential tool carried by nursing staff, first aiders and clinical support workers across hospitals, clinics and care settings.
Because they are used so often, they are typically kept as personal or ward stock and replaced or resterilised as part of routine equipment management.
