Frequently asked questions
Can these shears cut through thick clothing?
Yes, these trauma shears are designed with serrated stainless steel blades specifically to handle tough materials, including bandages, gauze, and layers of clothing, making them highly effective for emergency access.
Are these safe to use near a patient's skin?
Absolutely. The shears feature a blunt-tip design on both ends, which is specifically engineered to slide easily against fabric while minimizing the risk of accidental skin punctures or cuts during medical interventions.
Is the material safe for people with latex allergies?
Yes, these shears are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe and suitable choice for clinical environments where patients or staff may have latex sensitivities.

Are these shears sterile?
These are supplied as non-sterile instruments. They are intended for use in emergency and clinical settings where their durable, high-performance cutting capabilities are needed for rapid access.
Why is the handle purple?
The distinct purple handle serves a practical purpose: it allows for quick and easy identification of your instruments in busy clinical settings or when stored inside crowded trauma bags.
What type of metal is used for the blades?
These shears are crafted from medical-grade stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent cutting performance required for professional medical instruments.
Can I use these for home first-aid kits?
Yes, these are excellent for first-aid kits, trauma bags, and nursing stations. Their professional-grade construction makes them just as effective for home emergency preparedness as they are for clinical environments.
Are the blades easy to keep clean?
Being made from high-quality stainless steel, the blades are designed for durability and are compatible with standard clinical cleaning and maintenance protocols to ensure they remain in peak condition.
How long are these shears?
They feature a standard, professional length of 7-1/4 inches, which provides the ideal balance of leverage and precision for cutting through tough medical textiles.
