Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 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.

What scalpel handle is compatible with the No. 22 blade?
The No. 22 blade is compatible with standard No. 4 scalpel handles. Confirm handle compatibility before use. Do not attempt to attach a No. 22 blade to a No. 3 handle, as the blade is sized for the larger No. 4 handle only.

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

How should used blades be disposed of?
Dispose of used blades immediately after removal from the handle in an approved sharps container in accordance with your facility’s sharps disposal policy and applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Always use a blade removal tool or forceps to remove blades from the handle — never remove by hand.
