Description

Econo Utility Scissors are a multipurpose instrument used for cutting non-sterile materials such as dressings, casts, and surgical drapes. These scissors are angled and have one serrated blade and one smooth blade. The flattened, wide, blunt tip on the serrated blade greatly reduces the likelihood of skin being nicked if the scissors are used for cutting material that is on the patient, such as clothing or bandages. They should never be used to cut tissue or sutures. One plastic finger ring is larger than the other for maximized control while cutting. Econo instruments are Sklar's floor-grade, disposable instruments and are sold in bulk quantities. This item is sold in boxes of 12.

Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors safe for cutting bandages on skin?

Yes, these scissors are specifically designed with patient safety in mind. They feature:

  • A flattened, wide, blunt tip that significantly reduces the risk of accidentally nicking patient skin.
  • An angled profile that allows for safe maneuvering around the body when removing dressings or clothing.
Can these be used to cut surgical tissue or sutures?

No. These are strictly utility scissors intended for non-sterile materials only, such as dressings, casts, and surgical drapes. They should never be used to cut human tissue or sutures.

What makes these comfortable to use for long periods?

The scissors are designed for ergonomic control. They feature two finger rings, one of which is intentionally larger than the other, providing a more comfortable grip and better leverage during repeated cutting tasks.

Is the material durable enough for heavy-duty dressings?

Yes, they are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring they maintain their functional integrity and cutting performance for their intended single-use application.

Are these scissors latex-free?

Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for environments or patients with latex sensitivities.

Why do the blades have different edges?

The blades are engineered for maximum cutting efficiency:

  • Serrated blade: Designed to grip and hold tough materials in place, preventing them from slipping while cutting.
  • Smooth blade: Works in tandem with the serrated edge to provide a clean, consistent cut.
Are these suitable for sterile surgical procedures?

No, these scissors are non-sterile. They are classified as Sklar’s Econo floor-grade, disposable instruments intended for high-volume, non-sterile procedural environments.

Is the burgundy color helpful for inventory management?

Yes, the distinct burgundy color helps with visual identification, allowing staff to quickly distinguish these specific utility scissors from other instruments within a busy stock or supply setting.

What is the benefit of the 'floor-grade' classification?

The ‘Econo floor-grade’ classification ensures that these instruments provide consistent, reliable performance for single-use applications, offering a cost-effective solution for high-volume settings where disposable tools are preferred.

How long is the total length of the scissors?

The Econo Multi-Cut Utility Scissors have a total length of 7 inches, providing a balanced size that is versatile enough for a wide range of utility tasks while remaining easy to handle.
