RAZOR, disposable

Definition

A hand-held device fitted with an integral razor blade used to remove facial or body hair from a person or patient. It is known as a safety razor because the blade lies protected within the razor head leaving only the cutting edge exposed. This device can be used for skin preparation prior to treatment/small surgery or for normal grooming. This is a single-use device.

  • Handle, ± 8 cm long
  • Single or twin stainless steel blade, with cutting edge on one side, fixed into the head, no blade sharpening or replacement possible.
