Assistive scissors

Definition

A utensil used by a person with a disability to cut objects or materials, e.g., cloth, paper, string, or to prepare food in the kitchen. It comprises two pivoted blades that are usually provided with a finger and thumb ring-handle and which cut with a shearing action (i.e., the blades cut as the sharpened edges pass one another as they are closed). It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel and is available in various designs and sizes with different handle designs to accommodate different patient disability requirements.
