Trauma Shears for EMS Professional

Testimonials

"For the earthquake emergency response in Haiti, my FlightShears were indispensable. The integrated carabiner is ingenious. I and other team members used them often to cut clothing and rope, fashion bandages and slice through sturdy tent material. When I returned home, I ordered a pair for each person, so that they can be better prepared for our next call-out."

"The FlightShears were a huge help for dressing changes and splinting in Haiti. They held up very well and the carabiner handle made them extremely convenient."

"The shears were awesome! They are handy and the quality of construction is unmatched. I especially like the larger hand hold provided by the caribiner--my big hands fit better and it makes the shears more powerful. Thank you for producing such a solid and useful tool."

"In the 30 years I have served in EMS as a paramedic, I have never used shears that work and handle with such ease and precision. Well done team!!!!!!"

Kathleen, EMT-P

"I use my shears in a busy level one trauma center. They are lightning fast when cutting through clothes on a critical patient. They cut jeans, belts, boots and thick winter jackets with ease. The carabiner is super convenient to clip my shears to my scrub pants or pocket. Never again do I have to reach bloody/dirty gloves into my pocket or under a protective gown to find my shears."

Amanda, ER Tech/EMT-I

"I work in a busy EMS system and the standard shears are steel or aluminum, which dull easily. Also, they do not allow for broad hands inside the holds. These are much broader with the addition of the carabiner and I have been using them both at home and work for four months and have yet to dull them. I have found them to be as sharp today as the day I got them, and they continue to cut even the thichest cloth with ease."

Stan, Paramedic

"Great job guys. The EMS world needs things like this to make our job easier."

Justin, Firefighter/EMT

"I love my Flight shears! I use them predominantly in the trauma room and with high acuity patients requiring immediate attention. I highly recommend these shears!."

Kerri, RN

"The shears are great, very sharp and cut anything that would normally be cut with shears easily. Can be clipped onto loops and belts easily, works great on a high angle rescue kit. convenient to clip on about anything in the back of an ambulance for fast access. Much more comfortable to use than the cheapo shears."

Michael, Firefighter/EMT

"I love the carabiner for the fact that I can use it for multiple applications. I hang IV bags off it, I use it to clip my medical tape to and the strength of the titanium blade keeps them sharp. My other ones I toss after a couple weeks worth of use."

Daniel, Flight Paramedic/USAR Rescue Team Manager

"These are the best shears I've ever owned. They are easy to use and highly functional. Very durable."

Michaela, ER Tech

"I like the design of the shears and the durability of the product. I use them as cutter, knife, screw driver, slicer and I have never used a better or stronger set of shears! I recommend them for any profession that needs such a tool!"

Mike, Lt. Paramedic/Firefighter

"The Flight Shears are fantastic. They cut very well, are easy to keep track of, and they stay sharp. A great idea for any healthcare worker."

Brian, ER Tech

"I'm a med student and got my flight shears before my trauma rotation. Wow have they come in handy! Having the shears clipped at my side has made me ready to go when the patient comes through the door, not to mention keeps a little more space in my overstuffed white coat pockets. Because they're so accessible, I'm often the first one to expose the patient's injuries...and this hasn't gone unnoticed by my attending! I'm so glad I got mine when I did.."

Marianne, Medical Student

"I love my new toy! Bought my better half a set also. These are the best shears I've owned and have only gotten a good response and good results with them. Thanks to the Adroit Team."

"I work in an ER and as a disaster medicine team member. I primarily use the shears to remove clothing so that we can do a proper assessment of an injured patient. I have very small hands, with some crippling from arthritis and these shears are very easy for me to use , with less hand fatigue."

"As a radiology resident, I am often present during trauma activations to perform bedside FAST exams. With the ™EMS Flight Shears clipped to my waist, I am frequently faster 'on the draw' than my ER colleagues to cut away patient's clothing for access to the chest and abdomen. Away from the hospital, my passion is spear fishing. The Flight Shears™ are the perfect tool for rigging and cutting line under and above water."

"I am a climber, used to having the tools I need readily available. In a frenetic level one trauma center that sees nearly 100,000 patients per year, efficiency and dependability are highly prized. I use my Flight Shears™ multiple times every shift. Whether I'm cutting through leather boots and belts or plaster splints, I've come to rely on them to perform and having them clipped to the waist of my scrubs enables me to be faster and much more efficient when quick patient access is required."
