    What These Are Used For

    Trauma shears are used to cut clothing, footwear, webbing, and bandages to expose injuries and allow rapid assessment.

    In medical and trauma scenarios, speed and safety are critical. Trauma shears allow responders to access injuries without unnecessary movement or risk of cutting the patient, supporting faster and more effective care.

    Who These Are For

    Trauma shears are used by first aiders, paramedics, emergency responders, healthcare professionals, and organisations responsible for medical preparedness.

    They are commonly carried in IFAKs, trauma kits, medical bags, ambulances, and workplace first aid setups. If your role involves assessing or treating injured patients, trauma shears are a fundamental piece of equipment.

    What to Look For

    Choosing the right trauma shears depends on cutting capability, durability, and safety features.

    • Cutting strength: Ability to cut through thick clothing, webbing, and bandages.
    • Blunt tip design: Reduces the risk of accidental injury to the patient.
    • Grip and control: Handles designed for use with gloves.
    • Durability: Construction suitable for repeated use.
    • Portability: Size and weight suitable for kits, pouches, or bags.

    Reliable trauma shears support safe, efficient patient access in time-critical situations.

    Common Mistakes We See

    A common mistake is using general-purpose scissors that lack the strength or safety features required for medical use.

    We also see trauma shears carried loosely or stored without protection, leading to damage or contamination. Another issue is failing to clean or inspect shears after use.

    Trauma shears should be treated as medical equipment and maintained accordingly.
