Therapeutic Indications

The sterile and disposable 24 gram scalpel blades are designed to be used in various types of surgical interventions where maximum precision in tissue sectioning is required. Thanks to their sharpness and uniformity of thickness, they are suitable for skin incisions, small dermatological interventions, outpatient procedures, dissection and sectioning of soft and hard tissues. They are particularly suitable in general surgery, plastic surgery, veterinary surgery, podiatry, dentistry, as well as for biopsy sampling and microsurgery practices. The disposable version limits the risk of cross-contamination between patients, helping to drastically reduce the risk of nosocomial infections and making the product very suitable even in sectors where rapid rotation of instruments is essential. The use of the sterile disposable scalpel blade is ideal in all procedures that require reliable and constantly sterile instruments, such as the treatment of wounds, the removal of neoformations, the debridement of necrotic tissues, the collection of skin samples and small aesthetic or reconstructive interventions on various anatomical areas. Its use is also extended to the veterinary field for surgery on small and large animals, allowing safe and high-quality procedures.

Composition

Material: Medical grade stainless steel, which provides resistance, long-lasting sharpness and safety in use. The blade surface is treated to maintain sterility and minimize the possibility of oxidation or contamination, even during long periods of storage.

The packaging is single and sealed in sterile medical bags which guarantee protection from microbial contamination until the moment the product is opened for use. Each blade is subjected to rigorous quality control during the production process to ensure uniformity of thickness (24 grams) and sharpness along the entire blade, without irregular edges or defects that could alter the precision of the engraving. The absence of latex makes the blade also suitable for those who have sensitivity or allergies to this material. The chemical and physical components used are designed to eliminate the risk of releasing particulates or toxic substances, also ensuring compatibility with the majority of scalpel handles on the market.

Contraindications

Do not use the 24 gram scalpel blade if the package is damaged, compromised or suspected of losing sterility. Do not use in patients with a known allergy to metals such as stainless steel. The use of the blade is contraindicated where the use of reusable instruments is required, or in applications where control of the depth and angle of incision is essential and the disposable blade does not offer the right ergonomics. The product is to be considered unsuitable if a reduced tolerance to sharp instruments is presumed, the presence of clinical conditions that favor bleeding or in cases where contraindications to the surgery itself are identified. Not intended for invasive interventions in high risk areas without due preparation and without an appropriate sterile environment. Repeated use on the same subject or for different patients is not recommended, even if apparently clean, in order to avoid the risk of infections or compromise of performance.

Safety of the drug for the species

The sterile and disposable 24 gram scalpel blades, being non-pharmacological instruments but cutting devices, are designed to offer maximum safety during use in human and veterinary fields. The medical-grade stainless steel material is free of sensitizing components for most users, allowing for safe use even on sensitive patients. Each blade, subjected to rigorous sterilization processes, reduces the risk of cross-infection. For the operator, the risk of accidental cutting is mitigated by following the correct handling procedures, extraction from the package and attachment to the handle. After use, it must be immediately disposed of in suitable containers for sharps (sharps boxes) to avoid accidental contamination of operators and healthcare personnel. There are no known direct adverse reactions related to the correct use of the device, while improper use or forcing the blade on the handle may increase the risk of accidental breakages or operational accidents. In case of accidental contact with damaged skin, follow company exposure management protocols.

Precautions

Handle the 24 gram scalpel blades carefully, avoiding applying excessive pressure when inserting them onto the handle and during the incision. Always wear protective latex or nitrile gloves to reduce the risk of accidental injury or contamination. The blade must be removed from the package only at the time of surgery, manipulated using dedicated tools such as pliers and immediately fixed to the appropriate handle before use. If you have difficulty fitting it, avoid forcing it so as not to deform the blade or handle. After use, dispose of immediately following the procedures for sharps and ensure that it is not left in places accessible to unauthorized persons or children. Avoid reuse: Each blade is designed for single use and reuse poses a risk to both the effectiveness of the incision and patient safety. Always check the integrity of the package before opening. The blades must be stored in a dry environment, away from heat sources and contaminants, keeping the original packaging until use. If you are in any doubt as to suitability, always consult a healthcare professional before use.

Method of administration

Before use, ensure that the incision site has been properly prepared and disinfected. Remove the blade from its sterile packaging only immediately before use, always using suitable tools to avoid direct contact with fingers. Insert the blade onto the appropriate scalpel handle, making sure it is correctly secured to prevent accidental movements during the procedure. The incision must be made with a controlled and precise gesture, without excessive pressure, taking advantage of the sharpness of the blade to obtain a clean and clean cut. At the end of the procedure, the blade must be removed using pliers, never with bare hands, and disposed of immediately in a special container for sharps. Never attempt to clean or reuse the blade. It is recommended to note the use of the instrument on the patient's medical record in compliance with current regulations. After the procedure, make sure there are no residual traces of the blade in the operating site and proceed with correct disposal according to the health protocol.

Treatment program

The sterile and disposable 24 gram scalpel blades are designed for single use during each surgical procedure. There are no limits on use throughout the day as long as a new sterile blade is used for each surgical procedure. In outpatient activities, a blade change is recommended for each new patient or for each incision involving different body areas, in order to maintain the highest standards of health and hygiene safety. In the veterinary and laboratory fields, the frequency of changes depends on the type of intervention and the consistency of the tissues to be affected; in the case of particularly dense or robust tissues, timely replacement of the blade allows you to maintain high cutting precision and reduce trauma to the tissues. In continuous or long-term dissection procedures, frequent replacement of the blades decreases the risk of ineffectiveness of the incision and consequently of unwanted injuries. It is recommended to strictly follow the internal protocols established by the healthcare facility and to always note down the use for traceability in compliance with health regulations.
