Scalpel Blades

Disposable scalpel blades are razor sharp, come in a variety of shapes and have many uses, like surgery and gross dissection. Each shape suits specific uses, such as making long incisions or precise cuts. These scalpels are comprised of a reusable handle and disposable scalpel blades, usually sold separately. Scalpel blades are sterile, individually packaged blades designed for single use. By using a new sterile blade for each procedure, healthcare professionals can ensure the highest cleanliness standards. Disposable blades are always sharp, eliminating the inconsistency and downtime associated with re-sharpening reusable blades. Using disposable scalpel knives can save time and sanitation resources, as they don’t require rigorous sterilization between uses. Used blades should be disposed of properly.

Attaching a disposable scalpel blade to the reusable handle is easy.

1. Grasp the blade with a needle holder just above the opening of the non-cutting side.
2. Align the groove on the handle with the opening of the blade.
3. Slide the blade into the handle until it clicks into place.

Scalpels come in packages of 100 and are individually packaged as sterile units.
