Abstract
A stripping tool for removing clothing, and the like, in emergency situations. The present tool allows for clothing to be stripped from a patient quickly, safely, and efficiently. The stripping tool may be pulled toward the operator of the tool for quickness and ease of use. A handle provided to be used within the operators palm creates an ergonomic, comfortable grip. The handle allows a blade to be pulled upward in a scissoring motion to start a cut in fabric. Therefore, thicker, and heavier fabric may be removed since an initial cut may be made.
