Sklar Harvey Bandage Scissors, Straight, Blunt/Blunt
A straight, 5 inch Sklar Harvey bandage scissors with blunt/blunt tips, used to safely cut through bandages and dressings without harming the skin.
The Sklar Harvey Bandage Scissors is a 5 inch straight instrument with serrated blades and blunt tips on both blades, designed to cut through bandages, dressings and gauze safely without risking injury to the skin underneath. The blunt/blunt tip configuration is a defining safety feature of bandage scissors, allowing the flat, rounded end to be slid beneath a dressing against the skin while the cutting edges do the work, rather than a sharp point that could puncture or scratch the patient.
The serrated blade edge helps grip layered dressing material as it is cut, reducing slippage compared to a plain edge. Nurses, physicians and surgical staff use bandage scissors like this routinely in wound care, emergency departments, surgical wards and outpatient clinics whenever a dressing needs to be removed or trimmed.
This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for the Harvey pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated use with standard sterilization between patients.
