Usage

  • 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.

  • 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.
