Usage

Inspect the sterile pouch before use; do not use if the pack is damaged, opened or wet.
Open the pouch aseptically according to local infection-control procedures.
Remove the scissors using appropriate aseptic technique and avoid touching non-sterile surfaces before use.
Use the scissors to cut wound dressings, bandages or similar materials as indicated, keeping the blunt tip towards the patient’s skin where practical for safety.
Do not use the scissors for cutting hard materials or for purposes outside their intended clinical use.
After a single patient use, dispose of the scissors immediately as clinical/sharps or contaminated metal waste in line with local policy.
Do not clean, reprocess or reuse; the product is intended strictly for single use.

Contraindications

Do not use if the sterile pack is opened, damaged or shows signs of compromised sterility.
Do not reuse; reprocessing or reusing the scissors may increase the risk of infection, corrosion or mechanical failure.
Not intended for use on or within sterile body cavities as a primary surgical cutting instrument unless specifically allowed by local protocol.
Do not use on materials or tissues outside the intended indications (e.g. very tough materials that could damage the blades).
Do not use if the scissors appear bent, corroded, blunt, or otherwise damaged on visual inspection.

Adverse Effects

Risk of skin nicks or minor cuts if the sharp tip is not handled carefully near the patient’s skin.
Potential infection risk if used after loss of sterility or if the instrument is improperly handled.
Mechanical failure (e.g. loosening or dulling of blades) if misused, which could lead to ineffective cutting or slippage.
User injury (cuts to the operator) if handled without appropriate care or protective measures.

Storage Conditions

Store in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat or moisture.
Keep in original sterile packaging until immediately before use.
Avoid crushing, bending or otherwise damaging the pouches during storage and transport.
Follow any additional storage guidance provided by the manufacturer or local policy for sterile single-use instruments.
