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 50.

Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors safe to use near patient skin?

Yes, they are specifically designed with patient safety in mind. Each scissor features a wide, flattened blunt tip on the serrated blade, which is engineered to minimize the risk of accidental skin nicks when cutting materials directly on or near a patient.

Can these be used to cut through thick medical dressings?

Absolutely. These utility scissors are highly effective for cutting through:

  • Heavy medical dressings
  • Synthetic casts
  • Surgical drapes
  • Medical tapes

The serrated blade provides extra grip to ensure clean, precise cuts through tough materials.

Is the handle designed for comfortable, extended use?

Yes, the scissors feature an ergonomic asymmetrical handle design. This includes one larger finger ring to provide the user with maximized control, leverage, and comfort during repeated cutting tasks.

Do I need to sterilize these before use?

No, these are disposable, non-sterile instruments. They are intended for single-use, which allows you to skip costly sterilization cycles and ensures you always have a fresh, sharp edge for every application.

Are these made with high-quality stainless steel?

Yes, the blades are constructed from durable stainless steel. As a Sklar floor-grade instrument, they offer a perfect balance between high-performance cutting capability and cost-effectiveness for busy clinical environments.

Are these scissors free from natural rubber latex?

Yes, these Econo Multi-Cut Utility Scissors are 100% latex-free, making them a safe choice for use in environments where latex sensitivities may be a concern.

Are these intended for surgical tissue cutting?

No, these instruments are specifically designated for utility purposes only. They should strictly be used for cutting materials like dressings and tape and should not be used for surgical tissue or sutures.

Why is the blade design angled?

The angled profile is a key functional feature that helps the user maneuver easily around bandages, clothing, or casts, allowing for more natural hand positioning when cutting against a flat surface.

How are the two blades different?

The blade system is purposefully engineered for efficiency:

  • One serrated edge: Provides superior grip to prevent slippage when cutting tough synthetic materials.
  • One smooth blade: Ensures a clean, consistent cut through layers of dressings.
Is this a cost-effective choice for a busy clinic?

Yes, these are sold in bulk cases of 50, making them a highly economical solution for facilities like urgent care centers, emergency rooms, or home healthcare settings that require frequent, immediate access to reliable cutting tools.
