Frequently asked questions
Are these scissors safe to use near a patient's skin?
Yes, they are designed with a flattened, wide, blunt tip on the serrated blade. This safety feature is specifically engineered to minimize the risk of accidentally nicking a patient’s skin while cutting through dressings, tape, or clothing.
Can I use these for surgical procedures or sutures?
No. These are floor-grade, non-sterile instruments intended solely for cutting non-sterile materials such as bandages, gauze, casts, and drapes. They should never be used on skin, tissue, or sutures.
Why does the blade have both a serrated and smooth edge?
This hybrid design optimizes cutting performance: - Serrated Blade: Provides a strong grip on tough materials to prevent slipping. - Smooth Blade: Ensures a clean, precise cut through fabrics like medical drapes or apparel.
Are these made with natural rubber latex?
No, these scissors are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for environments or patients with latex sensitivities.
What is the benefit of the angled profile?
The angled design allows for better visibility and access when cutting materials against a surface, such as when removing dressings or patient apparel, while the asymmetrical finger rings provide improved ergonomic control during use.
Are these high-quality stainless steel tools?
Yes, these are manufactured from stainless steel. While they are categorized as ‘Econo’ floor-grade for cost-effective, disposable use, they maintain the functional durability expected of Sklar medical instruments.
How many scissors come in each box?
Each unit is sold as a bulk box containing 12 individual scissors, making them an efficient and economical choice for high-volume settings like hospital wards, clinics, or EMS stations.
Are these instruments intended for single use?
Yes, they are part of Sklar’s disposable line. They are designed for one-time use to maintain efficiency and hygiene in fast-paced medical environments where non-sterile cutting tools are frequently required.
Do these come in a sterile package?
No, these scissors are provided as non-sterile instruments. They are intended for use in preparatory tasks involving non-sterile materials outside of a sterile field.
Are these scissors backed by a warranty?
Yes, these scissors come with a lifetime warranty, reflecting the reliable manufacturing standards of Sklar products.
