Esmarch Bandage Scissors 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for safe, efficient removal of dressings, adhesive tape and bandages in the perioperative environment, emergency department, post‑anesthesia care unit and outpatient clinics. The blunt lower tip allows clinicians to slide the instrument beneath dressings and tape without contacting skin or wound margins, reducing the risk of inadvertent laceration of tissue during dressing changes.

Design & Configuration

The angled blade geometry provides a clear working angle for cutting while keeping the operator's hand away from the wound surface. The blunt, rounded lower blade is purpose-built to lift dressings away from skin before cutting, which facilitates quick, controlled removal of multiple layers and minimizes patient discomfort. The 20 cm overall length offers additional reach and leverage for larger dressings or when working around bulky limb or trunk dressings.
