Ideal For

Physicians, surgeons, and advanced practice providers who perform minor office procedures — including skin biopsy, lesion excision, wound debridement, and general soft tissue incision — will find the Miltex No. 10 disposable scalpel’s individually sterile packaging and ready-to-use format streamline procedure setup and eliminate the risk of blade handling errors associated with reusable handle and blade systems. Urgent care centers, dermatology practices, and primary care offices that perform frequent minor surgical procedures and want to reduce the cost and complexity of instrument reprocessing will find the disposable format a practical alternative to maintaining a reusable scalpel inventory. General surgeons and OR staff who use the No. 10 blade for broad, curved incisions in soft tissue dissection and skin incision will find the Miltex blade quality delivers consistent sharpness and cutting performance across the full box. Medical and surgical simulation labs that train students and residents in scalpel technique and minor surgical skills will find the individually sterile, disposable format appropriate for skills lab use without the need for sterilization between training sessions. Emergency departments and procedure rooms that stock disposable scalpels for unplanned minor surgical needs will find the box-of-10 format a practical supply quantity for low-to-moderate volume procedural use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the No. 10 blade used for?
The No. 10 blade has a large, curved cutting edge and is one of the most commonly used general-purpose surgical blades.

It is the standard blade for many minor office surgical procedures and general surgical incisions.

Are these scalpels truly sterile out of the package?
Yes. Each scalpel is individually packaged and sterile. Open the sterile packaging using aseptic technique immediately before use. Do not use if the packaging is damaged, wet, or has been previously opened.

How should used scalpels be disposed of?
Dispose of used scalpels immediately after use in an approved sharps container in accordance with your facility’s sharps disposal policy and applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Never recap, bend, or manually remove a used blade.
