- It is a larger, curved blade designed for more substantial incisions and tissue separation and is used primarily for procedures requiring longer or deeper incisions
Uses.
- Surgical Specialities:
- It is frequently used in general surgery, orthopedics, and other medical specialties requiring accuracy and control
- Specific Procedures:
- It is ideal for large-scale tissue separation, wound debridement, and any operation requiring a sharp surgical puncture or cut
- Compatibility:
- Designed to fit larger handles, such as the standard Bard-Parker No. 4 or No. 6 handles
Features
- Rib-Back Design:
- This patented design provides extra rigidity and stability to the blade's spine, preventing "weaving" or bending for a more accurate line of cut
- Carbon Steel Construction:
- It offers superior sharpness and durability over stainless steel, ensuring a consistent cutting edge throughout a procedure
- Packaging:
- It is individually sealed in sterile foil pouches with a unique dual inner liner to protect both the blade and the user from accidental injury
- Standard Size:
- Specifically designated as Size 20 with a curved cutting edge
- Latex-Free:
- It is manufactured without natural rubber latex to ensure safety for sensitive patients and practitioners
Benefits
- Superior Control:
- The combination of carbon steel and the Rib-Back spine allows for unparalleled strength and control during complex tissue dissections
- Clinical Efficiency:
- It is known as a "go-to" option for operating room efficiency due to its consistent quality and reliability
- Patient Safety:
- The single-use, sterile design eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and ensures a sterile operating environment
- Reduced Tissue Trauma:
- The precision-ground edge provides a smooth, consistent cut that minimizes resistance and promotes cleaner healing of surgical sites
