Medical Scissors
Medical scissors are a handy tool that allows you to cut bandages to size or remove old bandages quickly and easily. Make sure to add a pair of durable scissors to your medical kit. When looking to purchase medical scissors look at the different features of the scissors and decide what will work best for you.
Scissors with an angled blade allow for comfortable use on another person, like when removing a used bandage to replace the dressing. The angled design allows the caregiver to hold their wrist at a natural and comfortable angle and still use the scissors. Straight blades may require either the caregiver to bend their arm oddly or the patient to bend uncomfortably depending on the location of the injury. Snub or rounded blade tips will not catch on clothing or skin and make easy work of cutting away tape to remove bandages. Metal is durable and can withstand lots of use. Stainless-steel offers the added benefit of being easy to sterilize to limit the spread of germs and bacteria. Make sure to clean you scissors before and after you use them to prevent the rest of infection and for peace of mind. Plastic is not suitable for blades, but they do make for comfy handles. If you will be regularly using the scissors think about your comfort and consider a pair with a plastic handle.
Always inspect your medical supple kit to make sure all of the supplies are in proper working order. Remove and replace anything that is old, outdated, or no longer functioning as it should.
