Guide to Medical Grade Scissors

Sure, they may look funny but they are not your everyday pair of scissors!

Here is your guide to medical grade scissors:


Kelly Forceps are used to grasp small objects, usually too small for fingers to get a hold of, or to hold a single object so hands can remain free to do other things. They are made of high quality stainless steel and have multiple grooves in the tip's grip and a mechanism which "locks" the scissors in a clamped state.






Medical Shears or EMS Shears, Utility Shears or Trauma Shears are razor sharp, super hardened scissors made of surgical stainless steel and are primarily used by medical professionals. These can cut through clothing, shoes, seat belts, etc., but have blunt tips to ensure no accidental cutting.








Iris Scissors are typically small in size with an extremely sharp point that can be used for detail work during surgery. Crafters find them especially handy. Made of stainless steel.














Lister Bandage Scissors are often part of first aid kits and are used to trim bandages, cut through clothing and help remove bandages. Their angled shape and blunt tip make for safer cutting. Made of stainless steel with serrated blades.


If you are using your scissors multiple times and for multiple purposes, take great care in cleaning and disinfecting after each use.
