Although this is more of a long-term care issue, it’s critical to debride charred skin from deep burn patients as soon as possible.
EZ Debride is a single use, disposable instrument which incorporates a flexible neck, cutting flutes and counter-balanced head. These features enable those with little to no experience, be more effective.

Makes me cringe just reading it!
Burn surgeon here. I like the concept of the actual tool, but not for field use by people with « little to no experience » as the write-up suggests. Yes, debriding the burn wound is important, but not such an urgency that it has to be done before making it to someone with the some surgical know-how. Far-forward priorities are of course airway, breathing, circulation/resuscitation, thermoregulation/heat retention. I can MAYBE see this in an 18D’s tool kit if they are far forward with no prospect of CASEVAC and the need to hold for days, otherwise, IMO, this is a promising single use item for FST, CASH, and above.
