Esmarch Bandage Scissors 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed for safe and efficient removal of dressings, adhesive tape and bandages in clinical, emergency and perioperative settings. The instrument allows caregivers to separate dressings from skin and underlying wounds without lifting or pulling on tissue, reducing patient discomfort and minimizing the risk of iatrogenic injury during dressing changes and wound inspection.

Design & Configuration

The angled/offset shank geometry positions the blades to approach the dressing flat against the patient, making it easier to slide the lower blade beneath layers of gauze or tape. A blunt, flattened lower blade protects skin and sutures while an opposed cutting blade provides controlled shearing of materials. The 22 cm overall length offers reach and leverage for both bedside and procedural use, balancing control with visibility.
