description

With the bandage shears you can remove plaster or starch bandages. The shears have one blade with a blunt conical end, which is inserted under the bandage; in this way no injuries are caused. The bandage is cut lengthwise and can then be removed. There are light and heavier models (approx. 150-400 g), which can be operated with one or two hands, depending on the dressing to be removed.
