Black Coated Lister Bandage Scissors — 5.5″ (14cm)

Lister Bandage Scissors are used to safely cut through bandages, dressings, and clothing without injuring the patient’s skin. This 5.5″ (14cm) full black-coated version has a blunt, rounded lower blade for safe insertion under dressings and a sharp angled upper blade for cutting through gauze, tape, fiberglass, and multiple layers of clothing — standard equipment for EMTs, paramedics, and first-aid kits.

Product Overview

The VS Surgico Black Coated Lister Bandage Scissors, 5.5″ (14cm), are a standard EMT and first-aid instrument built to quickly and safely remove dressings, bandages, and clothing in emergency and clinical settings. The rounded, blunt lower blade slides beneath bandages or clothing without risk of poking or cutting the patient’s skin, while the sharp, angled upper blade cuts cleanly through tough materials like gauze, tape, fiberglass casting, and multiple layers of fabric.

The angled blade design improves visibility and access during use, letting the responder see exactly where the blade is cutting relative to the patient. Ergonomic finger-ring handles provide a secure, comfortable grip even in fast-paced or high-stress situations.

The full black, non-reflective, non-stick coating resists corrosion and glare — useful in tactical, field, and low-light EMS environments — while the underlying stainless steel construction keeps the blades sharp and durable through repeated use. The instrument is fully reusable and autoclavable for clinical settings that require sterilization between uses.
