I was kinda thinking the same about the blunt end. Makes sense that they are for bandage removal. Thanks I'll go with that .a scissor to cut and open a bandage - without the sharp forefront you can go in between the skin and the bandage, without injure the skin - and than you can cut.
Safety measure !
There are also some with the hook as you describe for stitch removal on fabric. I'm sure they aren't made out of medical grade stainless though.Many of these have a little “hook” on the end of one of the blades to allow you to get between a suture and the skin, to cut the suture for removal.
Doc Blake beet me to it, the Pakistani tells me they came from disposable suture removal kit, used by clinics and ERs.
I used to get those from our ER when I was in AF as Medical Supply we kept them and had them cleaned and sterilized and used them for hobby work. Pakistani stainless not quality to multiple re-sterilization I was told, they were cheaper quality, but good for one time use!.
Hallo @Dcox1961Was going through my old hobby box and found these I haven't seen in awhile. Anyone know what they may have been originally used for? Spenco made in Pakistan stainless, but I couldn't find anything online about them.
