Surgical Scalpel Blades Swann-Morton is an elongated triangular blade sharpened along the hypotenuse edge with a strong pointed tip making it ideal for stab incisions needed when lancing an abscess or inserting a chest drain. It is held like a pencil and often upside down by the surgeon to prevent it inadvertently being inserted too deep. To avoid this scenario the scalpel should not be held towards the back end whilst the heel of the hand should be placed on the skin thus stabilising the hand to help prevent an unwanted deep incision.

Scalpels are available sterile in individually sealed packets, boxed in 100’s

Scalpel surgical blades are used in various surgical procedures to make precise incisions or excisions. They are usually made of high-quality stainless steel, and are designed to be sharp and durable for the purpose of cutting through tissue with ease.

Sterilization of surgical blades is crucial in preventing infections and reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Sterilization is typically achieved through the use of ethylene oxide gas or high-temperature autoclave sterilization. Sterilized blades are packaged in a sterile environment to ensure that they remain sterile until they are ready to be used.

Scalpel surgical blades come in different sizes and shapes, each designed for a specific purpose. They are typically classified by their blade number, which indicates their size and shape. For example, a #10 blade has a pointed tip and a curved cutting edge, while a #15 blade has a small, pointed tip and a straight cutting edge. The appropriate blade for a particular procedure depends on the size and location of the area to be cut.

Overall, scalpel surgical blades are an essential tool in many surgical procedures, and the use of sterile blades is critical in maintaining patient safety and reducing the risk of infection.
