Product Details


Conventional style scissors with a hidden spring that will force the blades back to an open position after the grip has been eased.

Our Self-Opening Scissors are perfect for people who struggle to use normal scissors due to finger or hand issues.

A spring mechanism makes the scissors reopen after each cut, reducing the dexterity that is required.

When the middle finger is inserted into the loop, the index finger is able to rest on the outside of the handle.

This gives the user enhanced control and precision.

The blades of the Self-Opening Scissors are made from stainless steel, ensuring strength and a long life.

A rounded-end makes the blades suitable for use by children.

The colour coded handles make it easy to distinguish left (green) and right (blue) handed pairs.
