The TRECK is an emergency cutting tool, specifically designed to simultaneously remove multiple layers of clothing, equipment and other obstructions from a trauma patient. Most technicians will agree that shears are slow and sometimes fail. The repetitive motions of squeezing the shears can be tiring and time consuming, and increasingly difficult if the patient is moving or convulsing. Each time the shears are opened, and pushed towards the article of clothing, the lower arm also comes in closer contact with the patient. The TRECK works best as you draw it away from the patient, which prevents contact, and also allows the TRECK to slice through materials more effectively. Access wounds quickly, safely and easily.
