- A non-sterile, disposable blade designed for large incisions and heavy-duty surgical tasks
Uses
- Large Incisions:
- This is primarily used for making long, deep incisions in tough tissue, such as upper midline incisions of the abdomen
- General & Orthopedic Surgery:
- It is frequently utilized in procedures requiring significant tissue separation or cutting through thick skin and muscle
- Cardiac & Thoracic Surgery:
- This is used for skin incisions and specialized tasks like cutting the bronchus during lung resection
- Non-Surgical Applications:
- Due to its size and carbon steel sharpness, it is also used in laboratory research for specimen preparation and industrial tasks requiring a heavy-duty precision edge
Features
- Size #25 Profile:
- This is a larger version of the standard #10 blade. It features a long, curved cutting edge and a flat, unsharpened back edge for increased cutting surface
- Carbon Steel Construction:
- This provides the consistent sharpness and edge retention required for demanding incisions
- Rib-Back® Design:
- A reinforced spine increases the structural strength of the blade. This prevents bending or "weaving" during heavy use
- Non-Sterile Packaging:
- It is individually sealed in foil packets with protective inner liners. It is typically sold in boxes containing 25 strips of 6 blades (150 total per case)
- Handle Compatibility:
- This fits standard Bard-Parker #4 reusable handles
Benefits
- Maximum Control:
- The Rib-Back design offers superior stability and strength. This allows for more forceful, controlled cuts in dense tissue
- Exceptional Sharpness:
- High-quality carbon steel ensures clean incisions. This helps reduce tissue trauma and improves healing outcomes
- Safety & Integrity:
- Foil pouching with dual inner liners protects both the blade's edge and the user until the moment of use
- Efficiency:
- Designed for single-use to eliminate the need for sterilization. This prevents cross-contamination in high-volume surgical environments
