Additionally it eliminates the need to carry a seatbelt cutter since you can use them alone. http://www.ripshears.com/RipShears/Products.html I recently started using the following shears for my stripping. its very quick and safe for the patient and makes it really hard to cut EKG lines, iv’s etc. As an added bonus they glow in the dark which helps on a crowded vehicle accident, because my shears used to get lost in my bunker pants.

Done right you can roll them supine and pull everything off straight up. Think how easy it is to remove a hospital gown.
