Thank you for everybody! :)
The term "trauma shears" doesn't necessarily mean "trauma shears". That's why I chose "sürgősségi olló". Thank you!

Trauma shears, often known by the nickname tuff cuts, are scissors used by paramedics and other emergency medical personnel to cut clothes off injured people. They usually consist of a plastic handle with a metal blade, which is traditionally bent at about 150 degrees, giving them an unusual appearance as compared to normal scissors.
They are designed exclusively for external use, and are not suitable for any kind of surgical procedures. Their rugged construction makes them ideal for cutting through tough materials such as car seat belts, leather, and denim; and contributes to their nickname, 'tuff cuts'. Trauma shears are strong enough to cut through a penny with little damage to the shears.
Trauma shears are intentionally designed with a blunt tip so that clothing can be cut without being concerned about puncturing the patient.
