Description

Sklar 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.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool help prevent accidental skin nicks?

Yes, safety is a core feature of these scissors. The serrated blade is engineered with a flattened, wide, blunt tip, which is specifically designed to slide easily under bandages or clothing while significantly minimizing the risk of accidentally nicking patient skin.

Are these scissors durable enough for repeated use?

Absolutely. These scissors are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring robust construction and longevity. Because they are designed as a reusable instrument, they are built to withstand the demands of frequent clinical tasks.

Why is the blade design mixed with one serrated edge?

The dual-blade configuration provides superior control for material handling: - The serrated blade: Acts as a grip, holding materials in place to prevent slippage. - The smooth blade: Ensures a clean, efficient cut. This combination makes them highly versatile for cutting dressings, casts, or surgical drapes.

Is the handle designed for comfortable, long-term handling?

Yes, they feature ergonomic plastic finger rings. The design includes one ring that is noticeably larger than the other, which allows for a more comfortable, stable grip and provides improved control during precise cutting operations.

Can I use these for surgical procedures on tissue?

No, these are strictly intended for non-tissue cutting. They should not be used on sutures or biological tissue. These scissors are designed specifically for general cutting tasks such as trimming non-sterile materials like dressings, drapes, and casts.

Are these made with natural rubber latex?

You can use these with confidence knowing they are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for environments where latex sensitivity is a concern.

Is the design optimized for cutting flat materials?

Yes, the instrument features a distinct angled profile between the handles and the cutting heads. This design is specifically chosen to help you easily reach and cut materials that are lying flat against a surface or a patient.

Is this a TAA compliant instrument?

Yes, these Sklar Multi-Cut Utility Scissors are TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meeting the necessary requirements for procurement in government and various clinical settings.

Is there a long-term guarantee on this product?

Yes, Sklar stands behind the quality of this instrument with a lifetime warranty. This reflects their commitment to the durability and precision engineering of the tool.

Is the scissor sterile upon arrival?

These scissors are provided as non-sterile instruments. They are intended for general utility tasks rather than sterile surgical fields, and they can be cleaned and reused according to your facility’s protocols.
