Packaging & Labelling

Each scalpel is packed in a disposable peel pack allowing safe handling, and storage until needed for use and facilitating proper aseptic presentation. Often packed per 10.

Instructions for use

The scalpel blade is pushed out of the transparent blade protector by means of a pushing mechanism prior to its use.
After use, the pusher pulls the blade back until the safety mechanism at the back end of the scalpel handle locks it into position, making reuse impossible. The blade is now irreversibly retracted in the blade protector and no longer poses a hazard to staff.
