The FIG15 format is particularly appreciated in dermatology, minor surgery and for microsurgery work, as it allows optimal visibility of the intervention area and easy maneuverability even in the most confined spaces.
The multipack of 10 units is ideal for both clinics and medical practices that require a constant change of sterile instruments, helping to maintain high standards of hygiene and operational readiness. Thanks to the gamma radiation beam sterilization system, each blade ensures immediate availability for use, without the need for further pre-operative treatments. The single packaging also allows for simple management and reduction of the risk of cross-contamination within sensitive environments. The FIG15 Sterile Scalpel Blades represent the practical and safe solution for every precision surgical cutting need, with the convenience of an easily storable and transportable package.
Therapeutic Indications
The FIG15 Sterile Scalpel Blades are suitable for a wide range of surgical applications where maximum precision and safety are required, making them suitable for both invasive procedures and small outpatient procedures. These blades are widely used in dermatology for the precise removal of skin lesions, in plastic surgery for delicate incisions, and in dentistry for the management of gum tissue during specialist operations. Thanks to their superior sharpness, the FIG15 Blades allow you to perform minimally invasive interventions with an extraordinary definition of the cutting line, helping to reduce healing times and minimize the risk of post-operative scarring.
They are highly recommended for skin biopsies, extraction of superficial growths, incisions for drainage, as well as in the preparation of skin grafts thanks to their ability to perfectly follow the profile of the tissues. Disposable use avoids any risk of contamination between patients, ensuring maximum sterility and safety for each procedure. In emergency situations or first aid contexts, the readiness in the use of sterile blades allows rapid, precise and safe responses. Each blade represents a fundamental aid for the implementation of highly specialized interventions where patient safety and the success of the operation are essential criteria.
Composition
The FIG15 Sterile Scalpel Blades are made of the highest quality surgical steel, a material selected for its resistance, ability to maintain a sharp edge and total biocompatibility with human tissues. The alloy used ensures excellent surface hardness and optimal elasticity, fundamental characteristics for making regular, burr-free cuts. The cutting surface is mechanically sharpened and subjected to a final polishing treatment, which eliminates any micro-irregularities and favors both the precision of the incision and the ease of maneuvering the instrument during the operation.
The sterilization process uses beams of gamma radiation, ensuring the elimination of any potentially harmful microorganisms and giving the blades a long life in the package, without the risk of losing sterility. Inside the 10-piece package, each scalpel blade is individually wrapped in sterile film, which protects the device until opened and used. The blade structure is designed to adapt perfectly to standard scalpel handles, allowing quick replacement and ensuring universal compatibility with the main handles on the market.
Contraindications
The use of FIG15 Sterile Scalpel Blades is not recommended in procedures that do not require surgical incisions or in patients known to be allergic to the materials used in production (mainly surgical steel). Do not use on surfaces or fabrics not suitable for scalpel cutting, nor for purposes other than surgical ones or for veterinary use not specifically authorized. Improper use or the attempt to use the blade on incompatible instruments can cause injury to operators or patients, as well as compromise the quality and safety of the cut.
It is important to never reuse the device: the blades are designed for single use only and should be disposed of immediately after the procedure. Reuse exposes you to the risk of cross-infection, decreased cutting power and accidental breakage of the blade. Pay maximum attention when handling, to avoid accidental cuts and contamination. Any cases of use in patients with coagulation defects must be carefully evaluated, keeping in mind that an incision that is too deep could aggravate the bleeding condition.
Device safety for the species
Compliance with standard use and disposal procedures guarantees the safety of operators and patients during the use of FIG15 Sterile Scalpel Blades. The careful sterilization of each individual blade prevents the development of post-operative infections and the transmission of pathogens. The ergonomic design, with a contoured base for a secure fit over standard scalpel handles, reduces the possibility of accidental slips or spills during use.
The precise sharpening and structural resistance ensure a clean and burr-free cut, minimizing the risk of microtraumas and accessory injuries during incisions. In patients with fragile skin or a tendency to bleed, it allows greater control over the intensity and depth of the incision. The packages are easily resealable to allow the conservation of unused pieces, safeguarding their integrity until needed. The use of hypoallergenic materials makes the device suitable even for sensitive subjects, ensuring optimal tolerability in the most common medical procedures.
Precautions
When handling FIG15 Sterile Scalpel Blades, it is essential to take appropriate precautions to prevent accidental cuts or contamination. Operators must always wear sterile gloves and handle the blade exclusively through the non-cutting part, using pliers or special tools for attachment to the scalpel handle. At the end of the procedure, the blades must be immediately disposed of in containers suitable for sharp and potentially infected material, thus ensuring the protection of all healthcare personnel.
Do not leave open packages in uncontrolled environments, where they may come into contact with dust or contaminants. Do not attempt to reuse the blades, not even following disinfection processes, as sterility ceases with the first opening of the protective film. It is recommended to always check the integrity of the sterile packaging before use and immediately replace any damaged or contaminated blades. The presence of a well-sharpened and sterile blade represents a key requirement for the safety and effectiveness of any surgical procedure.
How to use
To use the FIG15 Sterile Scalpel Blades correctly, remove the blade from the sterile package using suitable tools and wearing the personal protective equipment required by the health protocol. Attach the blade to the appropriate scalpel handle, ensuring that it is securely locked to avoid unwanted movement during cutting. Make the incisions following the direction of the blade and applying pressure appropriate to the type of tissue being treated, paying particular attention to maintaining control and visibility over the intervention area at all times.
At the end of the procedure, carefully remove the blade from the handle using special safety devices or pliers, avoiding any direct contact with the cutting part. Immediately after use, dispose of the blade in rigid cut-resistant containers, following guidelines for hazardous medical waste. In the event of an accidental cut, follow the health protocol for the management of accidents caused by infected material. Correct use and disposal of blades guarantees the safety of the operator and the patient, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Supply and storage program
The FIG15 Sterile Scalpel Blades are packaged in practical blister packs of 10, ideal for rational stock management in surgical and outpatient departments. It is advisable to store the packages in cool, dry environments, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to ensure that sterility is maintained until opening. It is advisable to rotate the stock regularly, using the oldest packages before the new ones, to always ensure efficient and sterile devices in hand at all times.
