Sklar Knowles Bandage Scissors, Angled or Straight
A 5-1/2 inch bandage scissors available in an angled blunt/blunt version or a straight sharp/blunt version, used to safely cut through dressings and bandages.
The Sklar Knowles Bandage Scissors is a 5-1/2 inch instrument built for safely cutting through bandages and dressings without risking injury to the skin beneath. This listing covers two configurations, an angled version with blunt tips on both blades for maximum safety when working close to skin, and a straight version pairing a sharp tip with a blunt tip for slightly more cutting bite while still protecting the underlying tissue with the blunt side.
The angled shanks on some versions position the blades at a comfortable working angle relative to the handle, making it easier to slide the blunt tip beneath a bandage layer and cut along its length in a controlled sweep. Nurses, first responders and clinicians in wound care, emergency and general ward settings use bandage scissors of this type routinely for dressing changes and bandage removal.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between patients following standard reprocessing protocols, with the blade tips checked to confirm the blunt sides remain smooth and rounded.
