Frequently Asked Questions

What is a No. 22 blade used for?
The No. 22 blade is a large, curved blade similar in shape to the No. 10 but with a larger cutting surface. It is commonly used for large skin incisions, soft tissue dissection, and general surgical cutting where a broad, sweeping cut is required. It is frequently used in orthopedic, general, and trauma 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.

How many scalpels are included?
This listing includes 10 disposable scalpels per box. Each unit is individually packaged for single-use sterile application.
