Both in public hospitals and in private outpatient clinics, TKM Scalpel Blades are appreciated for their consistent quality and the safety offered in any routine or specialist surgical practice.

Therapeutic Indications

The TKM N15 Scalpel Blades are indicated for all surgical procedures that require maximum precision and control in cutting soft tissues. Specifically designed for accurate cuts, they are ideal for small-scale incisions, dissection of skin lesions, treatment of ulcerations, small skin grafts and dermatological biopsies. The N15 blade is also frequently used in dentistry, for gingivectomy and periodontal surgery, as it allows precise incisions even inside the oral cavity. Used in plastic and reconstructive surgery operations, this blade allows for a microsurgical approach when it comes to placing sutures or removing scar tissue. In the outpatient setting it can also be used for less invasive practices such as the removal of ingrown toenails or the cleaning of deep wounds, thanks to its ability to easily access narrow areas. Other indications extend to the emergency room and general medicine departments, for any situation in which a scalpel blade must ensure reliability and clean cuts, limiting trauma to the surrounding tissues.

The high sharpness of the TKM N15 Scalpel Blade reduces the force needed to cut, minimizing the risk of collateral damage and promoting faster surgical recovery. In emergency contexts it allows rapid and safe results to be obtained even when speed of action is fundamental for the patient's prognosis. The instructions for use suggest use exclusively by specialized medical personnel, trained in the use of sharp blades and aware of the appropriate surgical techniques. They are not recommended for self-treatment or do-it-yourself procedures, as lack of adequate training may pose serious risks of accidental injury or infection.

Composition

Materials: The TKM N15 Scalpel Blades are made of high quality stainless steel. This choice guarantees corrosion resistance, maximum wire life and a clean cut for the entire duration of the procedure. The specific heat treatment to which the blades are subjected ensures their hardness and elasticity, allowing you to tackle even the most resistant fabrics without deforming or losing sharpness.

Sterilization: Each blade is individually sterilized via gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide process, to ensure high microbiological safety. The packages are hermetically sealed in medical material which maintains sterility until use. It does not contain latex or allergenic components, making it suitable for use even on patients with specific sensitivities. The steels used comply with European regulations regarding medical devices, specifically developed to guarantee total biocompatibility in contact with human tissues.

Weight and Dimensions: Each blade is precisely sized to ensure universal compatibility with most popular standard scalpel handles, reducing potential unwanted movement due to manufacturing waste. The short specifications of the N15 blade facilitate maneuverability even inside small body cavities or near sensitive structures.

Contraindications

The use of TKM N15 Scalpel Blades is contraindicated in all procedures where surgical cutting is not necessary or where an alternative non-invasive method can be used. Use is prohibited in patients with known severe allergies to the manufacturing materials, although stainless steel is generally well tolerated. In case of use on immunocompromised patients or in the presence of active skin infections at the incision site, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the risks in relation to the expected benefits.

Do not use if the device is not sterile: if the packaging is damaged, tampered with or opened, the blade must be discarded immediately. Reuse, attempted sharpening or sterilization outside of the specific production process is contraindicated, as the same effectiveness and safety of use is not guaranteed. Additional contraindications include use on pediatric patients without the necessary medical experience or in the presence of uncontrolled bleeding disorders.

Safety of the drug for the species

The TKM N15 Scalpel Blades, being sterile disposable medical devices, have a high safety profile in use, provided they are used following the recommended medical and hygienic protocols. Exclusive use by trained personnel greatly minimizes the risk of accidental cuts, injuries to non-target tissues or cross-infections. Each blade must be disposed of immediately after use in special sharps containers, to avoid the risk of accidental punctures to healthcare workers or other subjects exposed to contaminated waste.

The design of the blade, thanks to the regular sharpening and the studied geometry, allows superior control of the cut and a significant reduction of trauma to the tissues, thus promoting a more favorable post-operative course and optimal healing. However, compliance with safety procedures in handling and disposal is essential: failure to use personal protective equipment, such as cut-resistant gloves and masks during the intervention, can expose you to biological risks and avoidable accidents. They are designed to guarantee maximum safety even in prolonged or particularly complex procedures, where the continuity of the cut and the absence of breakage of the blade have a decisive impact on the outcome of the operation.

Precautions

The use of TKM N15 Scalpel Blades requires compliance with strict health and safety regulations. Before opening the package, always check its integrity: if damaged, discard the product without using it. Use only sterile devices and never reuse the same blade, even if apparently intact, since repeated home or hospital sterilization can compromise the structure and functionality of the blade itself.

Professionals in charge of using it must always wear personal protective equipment, in particular cut-resistant gloves and a mask. Furthermore, before proceeding with the cut, carefully evaluate the anatomy of the operating site and the most appropriate technique to reduce the risks of unwanted deep lesions or cutting of important vessels or nerves. After use, dispose of the blade in a special container for sharps, respecting hospital waste regulations and preventing accidents of accidental puncture among staff.

Do not use if you suspect an individual hypersensitivity to the steels used or to other components that may be present in the packaging process. In case of accidents during the procedure, immediately stop using the blade and contact the competent medical services. In order to ensure optimal performance, store the packages in dry places, away from sources of heat and humidity, and away from direct sunlight.

Method of administration

The TKM N15 Scalpel Blades must be mounted on a compatible scalpel handle, taking care not to directly touch the cutting edge to prevent accidents. Insertion must be carried out using special forceps or sterile tweezers, keeping the blade in the bag until assembly to ensure sterility. Once assembled, make sure that it is well fixed and stable on the support, avoiding excessive pressure or lateral movements that could cause bending or breakage of the blade itself during the procedure.

During the incision, apply controlled and constant pressure, modulating the movement according to the surgical technique adopted and the desired depth. It is recommended to replace the blade whenever you notice a decline in cutting power, even during a single operation, in order to complete the incisions with maximum accuracy and without traumatizing the residual tissues. After use, the blade must be removed with suitable tools and disposed of according to current procedures for contaminated sharps waste.

Treatment program

Since it is not a drug, the TKM N15 Scalpel Blades do not require a typical dosage program, but an application plan determined by the type of surgical intervention and the clinical protocol adopted by the healthcare personnel. Changing the blade is recommended for each new patient, or each time multiple anatomical areas need to be operated on, to avoid cross-contamination and maintain maximum cutting effectiveness.

In the case of particularly long procedures or on resistant fabrics, it may be necessary to replace the blade several times during the same operation, to ensure optimal results without tears or burrs. Staff must carefully evaluate the need for replacement even in the presence of microscopic abrasions or signs of wear of the wire, in order to prevent unexpected events and maintain a high level of safety in the operating room. Compliance with these protocols is essential to minimize operative risks and ensure a rapid and complication-free post-surgical course.

Target species

The TKM N15 Scalpel Blades are intended exclusively for human use, for surgical operations on adults and pediatric patients according to clinical need. They are not suitable for procedures on animals, unless otherwise prescribed by a veterinary surgeon and specific assessment of the characteristics of the non-human patient. Use must be reserved for qualified healthcare workers, authorized to use sharp medical devices, to ensure full safety for both patients and staff involved in the procedure.
