Scalpel Blade

Scalpel blades are essential tools for any laboratory involved in dissections or biological studies. These single-use blades ensure optimal hygiene and provide precise cuts for accurate analysis. Scalpel blades come in a variety of shapes, each designed for specific purposes.

Here’s a breakdown of some common blade types:

• #10: Large, curved blade for making long incisions in soft tissue.
• #11: Long, triangular blade with a sharp tip, ideal for pointed cuts and shallow incisions.
• #12: Small, pointed, crescent-shaped blade commonly used for cutting sutures.
• #15: Small, curved blade for short, precise incisions.
• #20 & #21: Large, curved blades for general tissue dissection and punctures.

Choosing the right blade:

The appropriate blade type depends on the specific task at hand. Consider the size and type of tissue you’ll be working with, the desired incision depth, and the level of precision needed.

Benefits of using scalpel blades:

• Sharpness: Scalpel blades are incredibly sharp, ensuring clean and precise cuts that minimize tissue damage.
• Sterility: Disposable blades eliminate the risk of cross-contamination, promoting a safe laboratory environment.
• Variety: The range of blade shapes allows for versatility in dissection techniques.
• Convenience: Disposable blades are readily available and easy to replace, minimizing downtime.
