Trauma Shears

These will CUT THROUGH A PENNY! Not all similar-looking shears will do this, or still be able to cut afterwards. MEDIC tested a few different manufacturers' offerings; this was the only one that cut through a penny, and then was still plenty sharp enough to cut through a second penny!

Trauma shears (a.k.a. "EMT shears") are designed to quickly cut through thick clothing so you can check injured areas for bleeding, protruding bone, foreign object impalement, etc. The tip of the bottom blade is smooth / not sharp, so you can easily slide it along a body part while cutting the clothing, without cutting into undamaged skin.

Uses include:
-- cut clothing to expose injuries
-- cut seat belts
-- cut backpack straps
-- cut moleskin to tailor fit around blisters
-- cut tape
-- cut pennies, in case you get bored and are looking for something to do
… and much more.

This is an indispensable first aid kit item.

Features:
-- stainless steel
-- serrated cutting edge (on one of the blades)
-- bottom blade tip curved and smooth for patient safety
-- bright yellow handles for easy finding after you set them down in a hurry
-- able to be put into an autoclave up to 290 degrees F.

Size: 7.5 inches long x 3 2/3 inches tall x 5/16 inch thick
Weight: 1.89 ounce
