Bergmann Plaster Scissors

The angled design provides excellent leverage, making it easy to cut through thick materials like plaster, gauze, or adhesive dressings. The flattened lower tip, often referred to as the “guard,” is carefully inserted beneath the bandage, protecting the patient’s skin as the cut is made. Lister scissors are available in various lengths, ranging from 3.5 to 7 inches, and may come with straight or curved blades, depending on the intended use.

   • Quickly and safely remove dressings or clothing in emergency situations to expose wounds for treatment.
3. Surgical and Clinical Use:
