The premium grade shears are designed to cut through tough materials quickly and efficiently as well as soft materials, making them ideal for use in emergency situations. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to use piranha trauma shears, here are some top tips on how to utilize them effectively.

1. Choose the right size

Trauma shears can come in a variety of sizes, so it's important to choose the right size for the job. If you're working in a tight space or need to make precise cuts, a smaller pair of shears may be the best choice. If you're dealing with larger materials, such as thick clothing or seat belts, a larger pair of shears may be necessary. We provide 5 1/2” and 7 1/4” size Piranha Trauma Shears, so you can keep both pairs in your kit!

2. Consider the features

When choosing a pair of shears, consider the features that are most important to you and the purpose that you’re looking for. For example, you may be looking for a pair that have a serrated edge which can be helpful when cutting through tougher materials such as web gear, denim, leather, boots, and heavy winter clothing. The TyTek Piranha Trauma Shears are completely unique to us, with ergonomic inlaid rubber grip and contoured handles for maximum comfort and control.

3. Use them for a variety of tasks

Firstly, piranha trauma shears are fantastic for emergency medical personnel, which is why the TyTek shears were engineered to meet and exceed the military’s stringent standards. 

They can be used for a variety of tasks, such as cutting through rope, fabric, and even food packaging. Keep a pair of shears in your car, backpack, or toolbox so that you always have them when you need them. They’ll even cut through a penny!

TyTek Piranha Trauma Shears were designed to provide control in high stress prehospital emergency care scenarios
