Knives and Scalpel

Surgical knives and scalpels are fundamental instruments in any operating room, designed for making precise incisions in tissue. They are available in a wide range of blade shapes and sizes, each optimized for specific surgical tasks, from delicate ophthalmic procedures to deep abdominal incisions.

When selecting a scalpel, consider blade material (carbon steel for sharpness, stainless steel for corrosion resistance), handle compatibility (e.g., #3, #4, #7 handles), and whether a reusable or disposable option best fits your workflow. Proper blade mounting and ergonomic handle design are critical for surgeon comfort and control.
