Frequently asked questions
Are these scissors tough enough for thick materials?
Yes, these scissors are engineered for heavy-duty use. They feature super-hardened stainless steel blades tempered to a Rockwell hardness of C56 and a high-strength rivet rated for 88kg, allowing them to cut through dense medical materials like gauze, bandages, and clothing with ease.
Can these be safely sterilized in an autoclave?
Absolutely. These shears are fully autoclavable and designed to withstand temperatures up to 143 degrees Celsius (290 degrees Fahrenheit), making them suitable for clinical environments with strict sanitation requirements.
Are these made with natural rubber latex?
No, these scissors are 100% latex-free and are not manufactured using natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for use in environments where latex allergies are a concern.
What is the primary benefit of the blunt tip design?
The blunt/blunt tip design is a safety feature that allows you to slide the blades under bandages or clothing while significantly reducing the risk of accidental skin nicks or injury to the patient during cutting.
Do the blades have any special edge features?
Yes, the blades include one serrated edge. This specific texture is designed to grip materials as you cut, preventing them from slipping and ensuring a smooth, clean slice through layered or dense fabric.
Is the handle comfortable for extended use?
The scissors feature contoured polypropylene handles with large finger rings. This ergonomic design is specifically crafted to provide a comfortable, steady grip and precise control for practitioners who need to use them frequently throughout a shift.
What is the total length of these scissors?
These utility scissors measure 7-1/4 inches in length, providing an optimal balance between leverage for cutting strength and the maneuverability needed for clinical tasks.
Are these suitable for emergency trauma kits?
Yes, their rugged construction and ability to cut through tough materials make them an essential component for emergency medical services (EMS), professional trauma bags, and surgical suites.
What material is used for the blades?
The blades are crafted from super-hardened surgical stainless steel, which is chosen for its superior edge retention, durability, and resistance to corrosion in medical settings.
Does this product come as a single pair?
While these are sold individually as ‘each,’ they are part of a McKesson bulk series. Please note that they are packaged 10 per box.
