Product Overview
Trauma shears are among the most-used tools in emergency medicine — every exposure assessment begins with cutting away clothing to visualize the wound. The MED-TAC Premium EMT Trauma Shears at 7.5" strike the optimal balance between blade length (enough leverage to cut through multiple layers of clothing quickly) and size (manageable in a kit pocket or shear holder). At 2 oz, they add negligible weight to any configuration.
The stainless steel blades hold an edge through repeated field use and are resistant to the blood, moisture, and contaminants encountered in trauma environments. Rounded safety tips are essential when cutting along the skin surface — eliminating the risk of inadvertent puncture during rapid clothing removal on an uncooperative, moving, or improperly positioned patient. The non-slip curved handle provides positive grip control with gloved hands, a critical design feature when working in wet or blood-saturated conditions.
Trauma shears are a core item in every IFAK, jump bag, CLS kit, and EMT/paramedic kit. Having a dedicated pair of shears in a known, consistent location enables one-handed retrieval and immediate use — the same principle that governs how tourniquets, airway devices, and chest seals are staged. The MEDTAC1117 shears fill this role reliably at a price point that allows carry of multiple pairs (bag, vest, vehicle kit).
