This is a very decent bandage scissor, but remember that it is TINY.

It is useable and works well with bandages, tape and such, but may bog down when cutting thick gauze because it is TINY.

When cutting wider bandages, it requires multiple cuts because it is TINY.

It will store very well in your first aid kit because it is TINY.

If you need a bandage scissor for hiking/camping or in an emergency kit or if you must conserve weight, consider this scissor because it is TINY.

OK, the truth is that I really like these bandage scissors, which have excellent alignment, fit and finish. They are so well made that I can't believe that they cost so little.

My only complaint is that, with my large hands and thick fingers, I have great trouble using these scissors because they are ... you know ... TINY.

This Lister bandage scissor is great -- it is small, light, cuts well and safely, and is inexpensive. I have several other pairs of those bandage scissors with the plastic handles but they are awkward to carry in your pocket. This one is great. The only problem is that it may sometimes take a while to cut through longer wrappings/bandages. Otherwise, this is great, especially for the price!

I ordered these 4-1/2" bandage scissors by Prestige Medical as well as 4-1/2" bandage scissors by American Diagnostic Corporation as I wasn't sure on quality and wanted to know for the future (and at their costs it couldn't hurt). As someone stated, the 4-1/2" bandage scissors are tiny; they are smaller then I was expecting. However, compared to those from ADC, these ones have larger finger holes which makes these ones much more useful for me.

The others are going to go in my first aid kit where I won't use them as much, while these I'll use in the clinic as they are comfortable to use (even though tiny). I will try to update this after a bit of use to give a better impression on how they hold up.

It is little bit smaller than what i wished for. But it does the work for most part of it. If you are a student and need a medical scissor as part of course requirement, then I will recommend this one.

This was exactly what I was looking for, for my small first aid field bags... A small, but effective, set of safety scissors that I can afford to stock up on so I have spares.

I bought 12 pairs of these scissors as gifts for my Medical Assistant students. They were exactly what I was looking for. I liked them so much, I kept one pair for myself. They are smaller than regular bandage scissors, but perform identically. They are great for uniform pockets. If you have unusually large hands, or need to cut large or long bandages or other items, they probably won't work as well as regular bandage scissors, but for normal, every day use, I find them to be great.

This small scissors is very handy for removing bandages safely. The finger holes are fairly small and the scissors is small but it works well for its intended purpose.

Bought these because I don't like carrying around trauma sheers just to cut the occasional piece of gauze. In a pinch they work fine cutting through clothing though. The pair I have has seen a years worth of hard use and need to be replaced but they are cheap enough that a pair a year won't break yah.

Prestige Medical Lister Scissor, Bandage, 4 1/2 Inch--my hand needs a 6 1/2 inch one- seems a good addition to a M4 Medic Bag or a first aid kit

I ordered this one night while at work and chose the 2 day shipping. The package arrived very promptly and was exactly as described. The price was one of the lowest i saw.
