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 use near patient 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 the skin when cutting bandages, tape, or clothing directly against a patient.

Can these be used to cut through tough medical materials?

These scissors are built with a serrated blade and a smooth blade combination. This asymmetrical design is intended to grip and cut through various non-sterile materials, such as surgical drapes, dressings, and casts, with greater efficiency.

Do the handles provide a comfortable grip?

The scissors feature asymmetrical finger rings, where one ring is intentionally larger than the other. This ergonomic design is specifically crafted to provide the operator with superior leverage and control during use.

What type of metal are these blades made from?

The scissors are constructed from durable stainless steel. This material ensures the blades remain reliable and functional for their intended single-use applications.

Is this product safe for people with latex allergies?

Yes, these utility scissors are 100% latex-free and are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for clinical environments.

Are these scissors suitable for cutting sutures or body tissue?

No, these are classified as floor-grade, utility-only instruments. They are intended strictly for cutting non-sterile materials like gauze or fabric and should not be used for cutting sutures or human tissue.

How are these packaged for institutional use?

They are sold in convenient, bulk-quantity boxes of 12 units. This makes them an economical solution for clinical, emergency, or laboratory settings that require a high volume of disposable utility tools.

Why is the blade configuration asymmetrical?

The blend of one serrated blade and one smooth blade is designed for versatility. The serrated edge helps prevent material from slipping, while the smooth blade ensures a clean, consistent cut through various textures.

Do these scissors require sterilization before use?

These instruments are supplied non-sterile. They are designed as disposable, floor-grade tools meant for general utility cutting tasks in non-critical environments.

What is the benefit of the angled design?

The angled shaft profile is specifically chosen to improve visibility and ease of access when working in tight spaces, such as removing bandages or drapes from a patient’s limb.
