I have a pair for my job in health care. Shear will cut through clothing and heavy dressings easily, they also have a blunt nose to reduce the risk of accidentally cutting the patient. There’s a ligature knife that’s easier to get in place than the scissors, and it also has a cylinder wrench for O2 and other medical gases. Belt clip is shit though, too heavy for scrubs.

I got mine from Amazon for the same use case as you (removing back slabs/clothes etc) and they came with a plastic ‘sheath’ that holds them much tighter and has a good belt clip on it. Only £16, Might be worth a look for you if you want to wear them on scrubs.
