Key Specifications Specification Detail Manufacturer EMI Length 8 inches Weight ~5 oz Functions 11 versatile functions Blade Material Hardened stainless steel Handle Material Reinforced plastic, ergonomic Variants Shears only / Shears with holster Holster Material 1000D black nylon, water-resistant Product Overview Trauma shears are the most universally deployed cutting tool in emergency medicine — used by EMTs, paramedics, emergency nurses, and tactical medics worldwide for clothing cut-away, dressing removal, and equipment access. The EMI Multi-Purpose Rescue Shears expand the standard shear function to eleven distinct uses, making them one of the most versatile tools in a field kit. At 8 inches and approximately 5 oz, they sit in the larger trauma shear category — providing significantly more cutting reach and leverage than 7-inch models, especially when cutting through heavy denim, multiple fabric layers, or reinforced tactical gear. Hardened stainless steel blades maintain edge integrity through repeated field use and resist corrosion from blood, moisture, and sterilizing agents. The reinforced plastic ergonomic handles are designed for comfortable, powerful grip during the sawing and snipping motions required for rapid clothing cut-away. The lower blade features the standard blunt-tip trauma shear profile for safe skin contact, allowing the blade to slide safely against a patient's skin while cutting through overlying materials. The optional holster variant adds a 1000D black nylon water-resistant carrier designed for belt or MOLLE attachment — keeping the shears immediately accessible on a vest, belt, or bag without digging through kit pockets. The 1000D Cordura construction withstands field abuse, and the water-resistant treatment protects the holster contents in rain, blood exposure, and wet environments. Rescue shears are the tool providers reach for first in patient contact — the EMI Multi-Purpose Shears with holster ensure they are always where they're needed.
