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

Are these scissors safe to use near patient skin?

Yes, these scissors are specifically designed for patient safety. The serrated blade features a flattened, wide, blunt tip that significantly reduces the risk of accidental nicks or cuts when removing bandages, dressings, or clothing directly against the skin.

Can these be used to cut through tough materials?

These scissors are built for versatility and strength. They feature a hybrid cutting system with one serrated blade to securely grip materials and one smooth blade for a clean cut. They are ideal for:

  • Thick dressings
  • Surgical drapes
  • Light casting materials
  • Bandages and tape
Is the stainless steel construction durable?

Yes, the scissors are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring a long-term, reusable service life. They are designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use in medical or clinical environments.

Are these scissors easy to control while cutting?

The scissors feature asymmetrical plastic finger rings, where one ring is larger than the other. This ergonomic design is intentionally engineered to maximize your grip and control, allowing for precise operation during use.

Are these scissors safe for individuals with latex allergies?

Absolutely. These utility scissors are explicitly labeled as not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for environments where latex sensitivity is a concern.

Are these suitable for cutting surgical sutures?

No. These instruments are strictly intended for cutting non-sterile materials only, such as dressings and drapes. They should never be used to cut patient tissue or sutures.

Are these scissors considered professional-grade?

Yes, Sklar is a trusted brand, and these scissors meet TAA Compliance standards. They are designed as a robust, professional tool for emergency medical settings, clinical environments, or high-quality first aid kits.

How do I maintain these scissors?

Since these are reusable stainless steel instruments, they should be cleaned and maintained according to your facility’s standard protocols for non-sterile, reusable medical equipment to ensure they remain in optimal condition for their lifetime.
