Self Opening Scissors
Looks like a conventional pair of high quality scissors with molded plastic finger openings. These scissors, however, will re-open automatically when pressure is released. This assists when finger strength and motor planning of the open/close pattern required for cutting is difficult. The plastic around finger holes is wider than most, to assist with finger stability. Isolated thumb and finger holes facilitates isolated finger movements. A nice scissor for those not ready for Benbow's.
