Trauma Shears are a type of scissors used by paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and other emergency services in emergency medical situations.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Trauma shears are designed to safely cut through clothing and other materials in order to expose a patient's body to allow medical personnel to assess and treat injuries. They are often used in situations where speed and safety are paramount, such as in the aftermath of a car accident or other traumatic event.
Design[edit | edit source]
The design of trauma shears includes a plastic handle with a metal blade, which is typically bent at a 150-degree angle. This angle allows the shears to be used in a variety of positions and to cut through a variety of materials. The blade is also serrated, which helps to grip the material being cut and prevent slippage.
Use[edit | edit source]
Trauma shears are used by cutting away from the patient's body, to avoid causing further injury. They are designed to cut through a variety of materials, including denim, leather, and even thin metal. This makes them an essential tool in emergency situations, where removing a patient's clothing or other obstructions quickly and safely can be critical to their survival.
