- A medical-grade, non-sterile utility blade designed specifically for precision skin preparation and pathology application
Uses
- Pre-Operative Surgical Prep:
- Primarily used by healthcare providers to safely prep and shave a patient's skin site prior to a surgical procedure
- Gross Dissection & Pathology:
- Utilized in laboratory settings for grossing, tissue sectioning, and macroscopic organ dissection
- High-Precision Utility Cutting:
- Employed in clinical and laboratory environments where an ultra-sharp, thin utility edge is required for material or tissue manipulation
Features
- MicroCoat Enrichment Technology:
- Coated with a proprietary polymer layer that reduces friction and protects the blade edge to ensure smooth cutting performance
- 3-Facet Edge Geometry:
- Engineered with a triple-faceted, precision-ground single edge that maximizes sharpness and durability
- Premium Stainless Steel Construction:
- Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, offering high tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance
- Ergonomic Profile:
- Features a standard 0.009-inch (0.23mm) thickness with rounded corners to support safer physical handling
- Handle Compatibility:
- Specifically designed to fit standard surgical prep handles that accept single-edge blades
- Packaging and Sterility:
- Distributed as non-sterile, individually wrapped blades, it's packaged with 5 blades per carton and 10 cartons per case (50 blades total per case)
Benefits
- Maintains Long-Lasting Sharpness:
- The MicroCoat formula acts as a protective shield, extending the blade’s effective edge retention across multiple slices or heavy pre-operative workloads
- Minimizes Tissue Trauma:
- The ultra-sharp 3-facet edge slices effortlessly through coarse hair or tissue without snagging or dragging, improving patient comfort during prep
- Reduces Sharps Injuries:
- The integration of rounded blade corners lowers the immediate risk of accidental punctures or skin nicks to clinical operators during handling
- Cost-Effective Sourcing:
- The non-sterile, disposable design allows high-volume medical facilities and laboratories to purchase in bulk without paying the premium associated with pre-sterilized surgical scalpel assemblies
- Reliable Manufacturing Quality:
- Proudly made in the U.S.A., ensuring predictable compliance, strict quality controls, and material consistency from blade to blade
