Emergency Clothing Knife, Orange

Safer and Faster than Shears!

The Talon Rescue Emergency Clothing Knife is an alternative to trauma shears and seat belt cutters, specifically designed by EMTs, paramedics, and firefighters to simultaneously remove multiple layers of clothing, racing uniforms, leathers, turnout gear, and other obstructions from a trauma patient without the use of trauma shears.

With most articles of clothing and equipment, the initial cut and repetitive motions of squeezing the shears with your thumb and finger can be unsafe, tiring, and time consuming. Shears can and sometimes do fail, and ripping can be a mess or not an option with many materials such as leather.

Access wounds quickly, safely, and easily. With a single shear-less insertion, and by using your wrist and arm, the Talon works best as you draw it away from the patient. This prevents contact and also allows the Talon to slice through materials more effectively.
