Scissors in a first aid kit are not an optional extra — they are a required tool, and a kit without them fails the WHS standard. The right scissors for first aid work are sharp enough to cut bandages, gauze, tape, and dressings cleanly in a single pass, and blunt-tipped so they can be slid under a dressing or along skin without causing a secondary injury. These 13cm Stainless Steel Sharp/Blunt Scissors are exactly that — the correct specification for first aid use, in the correct size for any kit.

The sharp/blunt configuration is not a compromise between two designs — it is the purpose-built first aid scissors design. Sharp blade for clean cuts under pressure. Blunt tip for safe use close to skin and wound sites. Stainless steel for durability, easy cleaning, and a service life that outlasts any restock cycle.

• Sharp blade, blunt tip — the correct first aid scissors configuration The sharp blade cuts cleanly through bandage, gauze, tape, clothing, and dressing material without tearing or dragging. The blunt tip allows the scissors to be slid under a dressing, clothing, or bandage close to the skin without risk of puncturing or cutting the patient. In a first aid response where speed and safety both matter, this is the scissors design that delivers both — not a trade-off between them.
• Stainless steel — durable, easy to clean, built to last Stainless steel construction withstands repeated cleaning with antiseptic wipes or isopropyl alcohol without corrosion or degradation. A quality pair of stainless steel first aid scissors outlasts every restock cycle — replace only if the blades become misaligned or dull. The tool that is in the kit every time it is needed, not replaced on a schedule.
• 13cm compact size — fits any first aid kit At 13cm, these scissors fit in any standard first aid kit bag, tackle box, or vehicle kit without taking up space that dressings and bandages need. Long enough for controlled cutting with adequate leverage, compact enough for kit storage without a dedicated pouch or holder.
• WHS required — a kit without scissors is not compliant Scissors are a mandatory inclusion in WHS-compliant workplace first aid kits under the SafeWork Australia Code of Practice. A kit without scissors is not audit-ready — and improvising with a pocket knife or craft scissors during a first aid response is not an acceptable substitute. Clean after each use before returning to the kit. Ships from Dubbo, NSW within 2 business days.
