Frequently Asked Questions

What is a No. 12 blade used for?
The No. 12 blade has a distinctive sickle or hook-tip shape and is commonly used for back-cutting incisions, suture removal, toenail procedures, and specialized dissection techniques where a curved or hook edge is required. It is frequently used in dermatology, podiatry, and general surgery.

How does the safety guard work?
The blade retracts into the handle with a single motion and permanently locks in place as a safety guard, preventing re-exposure of the blade after use. This reduces the risk of sharps injuries during and after disposal and satisfies regulatory requirements for safe sharps handling.

Are these scalpels sterile?
Each scalpel is individually pouch packaged to maintain sterility until the point of use. Do not use if the packaging is damaged or has been previously opened.
