Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic removal of dressings, adhesive tape, and sutures where protection of underlying skin is essential. The Bruns pattern allows the blunt lower blade to be slid beneath dressings and clothing while the angled profile improves visibility and access in confined or awkward locations. Commonly used in emergency departments, outpatient clinics, perioperative areas, and bedside wound care for adult and pediatric patients.
Design & Configuration
The Bruns geometry features an angled shank and a blunt, flat lower blade that lifts dressings away from skin, reducing the risk of accidental skin laceration during cutting. A serrated cutting surface provides positive purchase on moist or fibrous materials (dressings, tape, bandages), minimizing slippage and helping deliver a controlled cut. The 24 cm length offers additional reach and leverage for dressings applied to deeper or less accessible body areas.
