Scalpel Blades

Scalpel blades are small, surgical cutting tools that are used in various medical procedures. They are majorly made of high-quality stainless steel. Scalpel Blades come in a number of shapes and sizes wherein each is designed for particular purposes.

The blades are detachable and are attached to a handle known as a scalpel. The handle provides a firm grip for the surgeon or healthcare professional, whereas the blade itself provides a sharp cutting edge for precise and controlled incisions during surgical procedures. These instruments are available in different shapes, including straight, curved, and angled. Each shape serves a specific purpose.
