Knowles Bandage Scissors Finger 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for safe and efficient removal of dressings, bandages, and adhesive tape, the Knowles pattern is commonly used in outpatient clinics, emergency departments, perioperative suites, and wound-care settings. The blunt lower blade permits the instrument to be slid under dressings without penetrating soft tissue, reducing the risk of iatrogenic skin injury while cutting material close to the wound or skin surface.

Design & Configuration

Finger ring handles provide secure, familiar control for precise cutting and incremental adjustments during dressing removal. The 14 cm overall length balances reach and maneuverability—long enough to access deeper or awkwardly placed dressings, yet compact for close, controlled work. The Knowles pattern features a blunt lower blade and an angled tip that facilitate safe insertion beneath layers of tape or gauze and allow the cutting edge to clear the skin while shearing dressings away.
