Types of Veterinary Bandage Scissors
gSource stocks numerous types of vet tech bandage scissors for various surgical uses. The difference between blunt and sharp veterinary bandage scissors is that those with blunt tips won’t damage the skin if inserted between the skin and bandages, while sharp tips might cause accidental nicks during dressing removal.
Both sharp and blunt-tip scissors feature blades and can be used to cut sutures and materials during procedures. Veterinary bandage scissors can also be used in emergency situations, like removing pet harnesses, jackets, blankets or other materials.
The various scissors and shears we stock include:
- Bandage, angled: These angled vet bandage scissors have one smooth blade and one sharp serrated blade for use in veterinary surgeries and post-operative dressing removal.
- Bruns shears: With a serrated blade and smooth blade featuring a strong jaw, these shears are robust and comfortable to use. They’re efficient for cutting through bandages, cloth, cotton wadding, plaster casts, tubes and wires.
- Esmarch: These shears have angled blades with a blunt knob atop the longer blade to slide between material and skin without causing harm. This design is ideal for cutting and removing thicker plaster casts and bandages. The finger-ring handles allow a firm and comfortable grip during surgical procedures.
- Hercules scissors: These heavy-duty shears have angled blades, one serrated and one smooth with blunt tips. They’re strong and suited for cutting through thick materials.
- Hi-level: These scissors have razor-sharp blades with micro serrations. The tip of the lower and longer blade features a blunt knob to avoid nicking skin when sliding it beneath dressings. The angled shank and comfortable ring handles are designed for sizing dressings and removing circumferential bandages.
- Knowles: Featuring straight blades and shanks, these scissors have one serrated blade and a flattened blunt knob on the lower blade. They’re made to cut tighter circumferential bandages without hurting the skin.
- Lister bandage: Lister bandage scissors have an angled bottom blade that is longer than the upper angled blade. The blunt tip design prevents damage to the skin and surrounding materials.
- Moleskin: These strong scissors come in 7-inch curved and serrated or 7-inch straight and serrated designs. Both are highly effective in performing accurate cuts on moleskin, felt, padding, relief pads, protective layers and other materials. They’re commonly used in podiatry and wound care procedures.
