Sterilized Scalpel Blades Pack of 10 Pieces

Sterilized scalpel blades are an essential surgical tool for a wide range of procedures in both the outpatient and operating room settings. Designed to provide a precise and controlled cut, these blades are packaged in convenient 10-piece blisters that guarantee convenience, safety and maximum protection against external contamination. Sterilization occurs through certified industrial processes, thus ensuring a ready-to-use medical device that complies with rigorous hygiene and safety standards.

The shape and size of the blades guarantee maximum versatility in the execution of incisions of different nature, from cutting soft tissues to small dissection or removal operations. The extremely sharp edge and the constant quality of the cut significantly reduce the risk of damage to surrounding tissues, minimizing trauma and promoting rapid healing. The package contains ten blades individually packaged to preserve sterility until use, thus ensuring maximum reliability both in routine clinical practice and in surgical emergencies.

The use of sterilized scalpel blades, as well as in human medicine, also finds application in the laboratory, dentistry, dermatology and in all those situations that require absolute precision and attention to detail. They are the ideal complement to any surgical instrument, adapting perfectly to the main scalpel handles on the market. Perfectly indicated for immediate operation, they are an indispensable tool for doctors, veterinarians, nurses and healthcare workers in every professional context.

Therapeutic Indications

Sterilized scalpel blades are indicated for all surgical or outpatient procedures that require a clean, clean and controlled incision of the tissue. They are ideal for general surgery, plastic, dermatological, vascular surgery and for small outpatient surgery, where cutting precision is essential for the success of the operation and the reduction of healing times. The use of sterile single blades significantly reduces the risk of cross-infection, safeguarding the patient's health and ensuring medical practice compliant with safety standards.

The blades are also recommended for performing skin biopsies, abscess drainage, surgical incisions for the removal of subcutaneous or subcutaneous foreign bodies, teaching surgical exercises and anatomical sections in pathological anatomy laboratories. They are particularly effective in procedures that require a high degree of tactile sensitivity, allowing the professional to modulate the force applied during cutting. The sharpness of the blade allows you to avoid lacerations or traumatism at the edges of the wound, always guaranteeing aesthetically satisfactory results and promoting primary healing.

In veterinary medicine, sterilized scalpel blades are widely used in surgical practices on pets and farm animals, providing optimal results in soft tissue surgery and in the suturing of small wounds. Furthermore, these blades also represent an indispensable solution in emergency surgery, both in hospital environments and in extra-hospital contexts, such as first aid, medical-humanitarian missions and civil protection interventions.

Composition

Main material: The sterilized scalpel blades are made of surgical quality stainless steel, selected for its extraordinary qualities of mechanical resistance, hardness and ability to maintain a sharp edge for a long time. The steel used is treated with advanced hardening and polishing techniques, guaranteeing the total absence of impurities, porosity or surface defects that could compromise its functionality. This type of steel is also chosen for its resistance to corrosion, ensuring that the blades maintain their characteristics intact even after sterilization.

Sterilization: Each blade is subjected to a rigorous industrial sterilization process, via autoclave or ethylene oxide treatment, to ensure the complete absence of potentially pathogenic microorganisms. After sterilization, each blade is preserved in a protective blister which isolates the product from the external environment, maintaining its sterility until the actual moment of opening.

Packaging: The blades are individually packaged in sealed packaging, grouped in boxes containing 10 units. Each package guarantees integrity, practicality and traceability of the production batch. Elements such as medical paper, plastic films and barrier materials are chosen to guarantee maximum protection against humidity, contaminants and environmental alterations.

Compatibility: The blades are designed to be compatible with most standard scalpel handles, facilitating quick and safe replacement during clinical activity.

Contraindications

There are no pharmacological or biological contraindications linked to the use of sterilized scalpel blades, but their use is reserved exclusively for qualified personnel, capable of guaranteeing safe and responsible procedures. It is essential to avoid the use of blades on patients with known conditions of hypersensitivity to metallic materials, such as nickel, present in some stainless steel alloys, to avoid local or systemic allergic reactions. Do not use if the protective packaging is damaged, perforated or prematurely opened, as this could compromise the sterility of the blade.

Improper use, distracted handling or incorrect replacement of the blade on the handle may pose the risk of accidental cuts for the operator. Do not use the blades on surfaces other than those for which they are designed, to avoid breakage, deformation or loss of sharpness. If there is any sign of rust, deformation or deterioration of the edge, discard the blade immediately and use a new sterile unit.

Safety of the drug for the species

Sterilized scalpel blades are medical instruments without active pharmacological ingredients, therefore their safety depends mainly on the quality of production and the method of use in clinical practice. Compliance with correct handling procedures, use by appropriately trained personnel, and observance of health and hygiene regulations represent the main safety factors. The characteristics of the manufacturing material, rigorously controlled and certified, reduce the risk of particle release, environmental contamination or generation of fragments to a minimum.

Correct handling of the blade, both during assembly on the handles and during the engraving phases, prevents accidents and injuries. The use of personal protective equipment - such as latex or nitrile gloves - is strongly recommended in order to reduce the possibility of accidental bites, exposure to blood or other biological fluids, as well as cross-infections between operators and patients. The blades must be considered "disposable": after each use they must be immediately disposed of in containers compliant with the regulations on the collection of sharps and potentially infectious waste.

Compliance with the sterility chain ensures maximum effectiveness by preventing the risk of contamination of surgical wounds or the introduction of pathogens during procedures.

Precautions

Before use, always check the integrity of the packaging and the complete integrity of the blade. Handle the blade only with suitable tools to avoid the risk of accidental injuries, loss of sterility or breakage of the thread. When assembling and disassembling the blade on the scalpel handle, use tweezers specifically intended for this function. Never attempt to reuse an already used blade; Used blades should be disposed of immediately according to standard procedures for infected sharps.

Store the packages in dry, clean places away from sources of heat and humidity; protect the product from direct exposure to sunlight and extreme temperature variations which could compromise the sterility and solidity of the blade. Keep the product out of reach of children, unauthorized persons and pets. It is important to always respect pre- and post-operative asepsis procedures, both for the protection of the patient and the healthcare worker.

In the event of an accidental cut or puncture, follow the protocol for exposure to biological material, promptly consulting a doctor if necessary.

Method of administration

The application and use of scalpel blades must be carried out exclusively by trained and qualified personnel. Before use, prepare the operating field according to sterility protocols, ensuring that all instruments are appropriately prepared. Remove the blade from the sterile package only immediately before use and handle it with dedicated tools to mount it on the compatible scalpel handle. Check the stability of the blade on the handle before proceeding with the incision. During use, maintain a firm but delicate grip to ensure maximum cutting precision.

After use, remove the blade from the handle using safety tools, avoiding direct contact of the hands with the cutting part. Throw the used blade into the specific container for infectious sharps waste. It is recommended to never carry out manipulations that could compromise the sterility of unused blades.

Treatment program

Sterilized scalpel blades do not provide a real "treatment program", as they must be used exclusively as disposable surgical instruments during the specific procedure requested. The use strategy depends solely on clinical needs: for each operation, only one blade is used, which must be replaced immediately if it loses its cutting capacity, becomes deformed or becomes excessively dirty with organic materials.

There are no seasonal restrictions or limits of use relating to frequency, but it is recommended to promptly replace the blade whenever the situation requires it, in particular in the case of prolonged operations or those requiring repeated incisions. Disposal of the blade must take place according to the regulations in force, taking care not to overload the containers for sharps.

In emergency situations, it is advisable to always have reserve packs available to deal with any sudden needs or changes in the operating program. The planned and systematic use of sterile blades leads to a notable reduction in infectious risks and post-operative complications and ensures constant quality in surgical performance.

Target species

Sterilized scalpel blades are intended for use on humans in all branches of surgery, from general to specialist surgery (e.g. orthopedics, gynecology, dermatology, urology, dentistry). They are also indicated for veterinary use, both on domestic animals and farm animals, proving particularly useful in emergency surgery, soft tissue surgery and in basic and specialist veterinary medicine. Use is reserved exclusively for health professionals duly trained and authorized to perform invasive surgical procedures.
