Product Overview
The Lister Bandage Scissor is characterized by its unique angled design and specialized safety tip. The offset blades allow the clinician’s hand to stay above the surface of the dressing, providing better leverage and a clear line of sight. Most importantly, the lower blade features a smooth, rounded, and flattened “bandage probe” tip designed to slide between the skin and the bandage without the risk of accidental puncture or laceration.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Guard” Safety Tip: The blunt, flattened node on the lower blade acts as a protective shield, gently displacing the patient’s skin away from the cutting edge as the scissors advance.
-
Ergonomic Offset Angle: The blades are set at an angle to the handles, allowing for a natural wrist position. This “cranked” design makes it easier to cut through thick, multi-layered casts or heavy pressure bandages.
-
High-Leverage Pivot: The fulcrum is precision-tensioned to deliver maximum shearing force at the tips, allowing for a clean, effortless cut through everything from thin silk tape to heavy-duty orthopedic casting material.
-
Tungsten Carbide (TC) Options: Available with gold-plated handles featuring TC inserts. These provide a “diamond-hard” edge that stays sharp through thousands of cycles, making them ideal for high-volume emergency departments.
-
Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: Forged from high-tempered steel to resist corrosion from cleaning agents and bodily fluids, ensuring a long clinical lifespan.
