Lister Bandage Scissors 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for safe, efficient removal of dressings, tapes, and clothing in operating rooms, emergency departments, outpatient clinics, and ambulatory surgery centers. The angled geometry and blunt lower blade allow the instrument to be slid gently beneath dressings and adhesives to cut material without injuring the underlying skin, making it useful during wound care, dressing changes, and rapid-access scenarios.

Design & Configuration

The angled shank provides clearance for the operator's hands and improved visual access to the dressing edge while the asymmetrical blades create a low-profile leading edge for controlled sliding under the material. The blunt lower blade protects tissue when inserted beneath dressings; the longer 20 cm length offers reach for deeper or awkwardly positioned dressings without compromising tactile control. This combination of features minimizes patient discomfort and reduces the risk of accidental skin nicks during removal.
