What it’s for

Every kit needs one pair of scissors that lives in it and is never borrowed. Blunt tips mean they're safe in a pouch and safe near skin.

What to check in the listing

Lister-pattern (the bent handle) is the classic; the bigger trauma shears are for cutting clothes off people. Stainless, 14 cm (5.5 in), and keep them in the kit — the kitchen ones will wander.

SterileNoSterile means individually sealed and sterile until opened; anything that touches the inside of a vial or your skin should be.
