Lister Bandage Scissor 14 cm / 5-1/2"

The Lister Bandage Scissor, 14 cm / 5-1/2" is the standard size and the more capable of the two. The longer blade produces a greater cutting stroke per closure, which matters considerably when working through a thick bandage. A heavily padded limb dressing or a cast liner may involve many layers, and cutting those with a short blade requires repeated small closures that are slow and tend to bunch the material.

The 14 cm blade divides more of the thickness in each stroke. The blunt flattened probe tip and angled blade geometry are unchanged, so the instrument still passes safely between dressing and skin. This is the appropriate size for dogs, heavier dressings and splint removal.

• Longer blade produces a greater cutting stroke per closure
• Divides more thickness in each stroke on heavily padded dressings
• Avoids the bunching caused by repeated short cuts
• Blunt flattened probe tip passes safely between dressing and skin
• Angled blade geometry keeps the hand clear of the patient
• Appropriate for dogs, heavy dressings and splint removal

Which Lister size should a practice hold?

The 14 cm is the standard working size. The 11 cm suits cats, small breeds and lighter dressings.

Can it cut cast material?

It handles cast padding and liners. Rigid cast material requires a dedicated cast saw or shears.
