Sklar Lange Bandage Scissors, Straight Blunt/Blunt 7 Inch
A straight 7 inch bandage scissors with smooth blunt tips on both blades, used to safely cut through bandages and dressings without harming the skin.
The Sklar Lange Bandage Scissors is a straight instrument measuring 7 inches, finished with smooth, blunt tips on both blades, a design intended to slide safely beneath a bandage or dressing layer and cut along its length without risking a nick or scrape to the skin underneath. Its longer 7 inch size gives extra leverage and reach compared to shorter bandage scissors, which is useful when cutting through thicker layers of dressing, casting material edges, or bulky wraps.
Because both tips are blunt, the instrument prioritizes patient safety over aggressive cutting speed, making it well suited to routine dressing changes where the clinician is working close to the skin surface. Nurses, first responders and clinicians in wound care, emergency and general ward settings use bandage scissors of this type as a standard item for dressing removal and bandage management.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between patients following standard reprocessing protocols, with the blunt tips checked periodically to confirm they remain smooth and rounded.
