Product Overview
Removing clothing to reach an injury or trimming a bandage calls for a different tool than ordinary pointed scissors. Rothco Deluxe EMS Shears combine stainless steel cutting blades with a wide, blunt tip for working around clothing and medical dressings close to the skin. They belong in the equipment of first responders and medical personnel, but also make a useful addition to an outdoor first aid kit.
A blunt tip for close-to-skin cutting
The broad, rounded end helps guide the shears beneath fabric without presenting a sharp point toward the patient. That design is especially useful when cutting away clothing to expose an injury. The stainless steel blades handle clothing, bandages, and dressings, giving you one tool for several common first aid cutting tasks.
Impact-resistant ABS plastic handles provide a comfortable grip and help you control the blades as you cut. For emergency personnel, that means a straightforward tool for preparing dressings or gaining access beneath clothing without relying on pointed scissors.
Keep them with your first aid equipment
These trauma shears can be carried in a duty bag, first aid kit, or suitably sized tourniquet pouch. Choose the length option that suits your storage arrangement, particularly if you plan to use a dedicated holder rather than a larger bag compartment. Rothco's tourniquet and shear holder pouch is an additional storage option and is sold separately.
For airsoft players, hikers, hunters, and anglers, the shears offer a dedicated cutting tool to keep alongside medical supplies. Packing them with your first aid equipment keeps bandage and clothing-cutting tasks separate from the other tools you carry for field repairs or camp chores.
