A scalpel is a precision cutting tool used to make clean, controlled incisions in specimens and tissue. Reusable metal handles take a range of detachable blades, while fully disposable sterile scalpels combine the handle and blade into one single-use unit.
SmartLabs stocks reusable No. 3 and No. 4 handles, replacement blades in multiple shapes, and sterile disposable scalpels for schools, universities and clinical training settings.
Where a sharp, controlled blade earns its place in specimen work.
Use forceps rather than fingers to fit or remove a blade, keeping hands well clear of the sharp edge.
A metal handle with replaceable blades suits regular use, while a sealed disposable scalpel suits single-use, sterile work.
A fine, controlled blade opens the first incision cleanly before scissors and forceps take over the detailed work.
Used blades go straight into a sharps container, never loose in general waste.
