Piranha Trauma Shears — 5.5″ or 7.25″

Field Brief

TyTek Medical® Piranha Trauma Shears – 5.5” or 7.25”

Overview
Exposing injuries quickly is essential during trauma care. Clothing, web gear, boots, and protective equipment can obstruct access to wounds and delay treatment if they cannot be removed efficiently. Trauma shears are designed to cut through these materials quickly while minimizing the risk of injury to the patient.

TyTek Medical’s Piranha Trauma Shears are built to meet demanding field conditions and exceed military performance standards for medical scissors. Designed for both heavy-duty and delicate cutting tasks, the shears can cut through tough materials such as web gear, denim, leather, and winter clothing while still handling softer materials like gauze where traditional trauma shears often struggle.

How It Works
Trauma shears use a scissor-style cutting mechanism with specialized blades designed for rapid clothing removal and medical use. The Piranha shears feature reinforced stainless steel blades with a serrated cutting edge that grips materials during cutting, allowing them to slice through thick fabrics and gear more efficiently.

The rounded safety tip and clothing-lift lip allow responders to slide the blade under clothing without cutting the patient’s skin. Ergonomic handles with an inlaid rubber grip improve control and stability during use, which is especially important in high-stress prehospital environments where precision and speed are critical.
