Sklar Merit First Aid Shears, 8-1/4 Inch
Heavy duty 8-1/4 inch shears used to cut through clothing, bandages and dressings quickly and safely during emergency and trauma care situations.
The Sklar Merit First Aid Shears are heavy duty scissors designed to cut quickly and safely through clothing, bandages and other material when a patient needs urgent access for assessment or treatment. A blunt tip on one blade allows the operator to slide the shears along the skin without risk of piercing it, which is important when cutting away clothing from an injured or unconscious patient under time pressure.
At 8-1/4 inches, the shears offer enough blade length and handle leverage to cut through thicker fabric such as denim or leather with less effort than a standard pair of scissors. This type of instrument is a core piece of equipment in emergency medicine, ambulance services, trauma bays and first aid kits wherever rapid removal of clothing or dressings is part of patient assessment and treatment.
Manufactured from surgical grade stainless steel, the shears hold a durable cutting edge through heavy use and can be cleaned or sterilised between patients as needed. They are a standard item in trauma kits and emergency response bags.
