    Adapted Battery Operated Scissors

    Easy-to-use switch-adapted scissors make participation and craft activities possible.
    Product #: 2988ED

    These battery-operated scissors come equipped with a colorful base and a pair of functional blades. The base allows users with upper body mobility limitations to cut paper. Those who can use their upper extremities can use these scissors without the base unit.

    Our switch-adapted scissors are easy to use and make craft activities and class participation possible for individuals with disabilities — simply activate your switch to cut through paper. These ADL scissors are easy to remove from their special mounting, making them seamless to install and detach.

    These adapted scissors are easy to set up and use:

    1. Take the scissors out of the base.
    2. Put the batteries in the battery compartment. Pull the bottom handle of the scissors down to open this compartment.
    3. Place the scissors back into the base.
    4. Plug in a capability switch into the jack in the scissors. Make sure the connection is tight.
    5. Activate the switch to make the scissors cut. The scissors will be activated as long as the switch is — when you release the switch, the scissors will stop cutting.

    Adapted scissors are held into place with a fabric fastener strap and take two AA alkaline batteries. Our switch-activated scissors work with or without a switch and are compatible with adaptive switches for versatile use. Additional features include:

    • Added safety: A plastic safety guard protects the sharp blades for increased security.
    • Dual configurations: You can use the scissors with the base attached and the help of an aide or without the base for those who retain upper limb movement.
    • Easy operation: The scissors cut continuously as long as the switch is activated. They automatically stop once the user disengages the switch.
    • Comfortable grip: Our adaptive scissors feature a grip designed for maximum user comfort throughout the cutting process.
    • Suction-style base: We’ve added suction cups to the base for increased stability and ease of use.
    • Effortless cleaning: These scissors wipe clean easily with a soft cloth and nonabrasive multipurpose disinfectant or cleanser.
