Six models are stocked, and most people end up with two: a general pair and one that lives on a belt or in a response bag.Length sets the job. Lister Bandage Scissors 14cm are the everyday default for dressings and tape, and the black-finish Lister Bandage Scissor 14cm is the same length if you want your own pair to be recognisable. Lister Hard Handle Scissors come in 14cm and 18cm for bulkier material. Iris Scissors 11cm are the compact pair for fine, close work. Carabiner EMT Shears clip straight to a belt loop or bag.If you are equipping a team, 14cm Lister scissors are the usual standard issue, with an 18cm pair kept in the treatment room for heavier jobs.
