Tuff-Cut EMT Emergency Bandage Shears — 5½″ Black Stainless Steel
These Tuff-Cut style shears are an essential instrument for first responders, paramedics, and clinical staff. The robust stainless steel construction, finished with a non-reflective black coating, is designed for durability and repeated use in demanding environments.
The lower blade features a fine serration to securely grip materials, preventing slippage while cutting. A key safety feature is the rounded, blunt tip on the lower blade, which allows the shears to be inserted under bandages or clothing close to the skin with a reduced risk of causing injury to the patient.
Engineered for cutting through challenging materials. Use for: removing bandages and plaster casts; cutting clothing, leather, or denim from trauma patients; or as vehicle-based shears for severing seatbelts in an emergency.
