Saw a medic using one of these the other day. It's a retractable scissor holder, similar to those you use with ID cards. You have continuous access to your shears, and the cord is long enough to cut at arms length. You can justify using Tac pants instead of EMT pants with these without having to get a belt holster for the shears.
That said, the paramedic I saw with this was a whacker (and an awesome paramedic). He brought his own personal set of turnout gear and had a separate bag just for his flashlights (3 of assorted sizes) and scope (Littman Master Cardiology). Apparently, he has a number of scopes, and just picks whichever one catches his eye before shift. I may get one of these just so I can occasionally wear tac pants when working.
