Surgical Scalpels, Knives and Dermatomes
Surgical scalpels, knives, scalpel handles and scalpel blades
A scalpel or knife is used for cutting through tissue. Our scalpels and knives have fixed or replaceable blade. The scalpels with replaceable blades are used most commonly in surgery. The advantage is the reusability of the scalpel handle with the option of inserting various types of blades. These knives have a wide application range. Amputation knives are used for the amputation of limbs and dermatomes are used to produce thin slices of skin from a donor area, in order to use them for making skin grafts. We also offer abscess and fistula knives, autopsy knives, brain knives, razor blades, blade breakers, and knives for gums.
Customer information on the use of surgical scapulars
A scalpel is a surgical instrument for severing tissue. While in the past the instruments were reused after cleaning and sterilization, today disposable instruments are predominantly used. With the scalpel, only the blade is renewed and the handle reused.
