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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat scalpel handle is compatible with the No. 22 blade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe No. 22 blade is compatible with standard No. 4 scalpel handles. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between carbon steel and stainless steel scalpel blades?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarbon steel blades are known for their exceptional initial sharpness and edge retention during cutting, making them a preferred choice for procedures where cutting performance is the primary priority. Stainless steel blades offer greater corrosion resistance, which can be advantageous in certain storage and handling environments. Both are appropriate for single-use sterile surgical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should used blades be disposed of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDispose of used blades immediately after removal from the handle in an approved sharps container in accordance with your facility's sharps disposal policy. Always use a blade removal tool or forceps to remove blades from the handle, never by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Complete Medical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40388600561718,"sku":"19135G","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/complete-medical-scapel-blades-disp-scalpels-default-title-scalpel-blades-no-22-sterile-carbon-steel-box-of-100-23631923413046.jpg?v=1788638296","url":"https:\/\/www.precisionlabworks.com\/products\/scalpel-blades-no-22-sterile-carbon-steel-box-of-100","provider":"Precision Lab Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
