Scalpel Handle Flat# 3

A scalpel handle with a blade is an essential dermatological tool used “for making skin incisions, tissue dissections, and a variety of surgical approaches since the onset of ‘modern’ surgery.”

Reusable scalpels are made of stainless steel or titanium materials. We at MEDICURE only offer reusable scalpel handles made of high-quality surgical stainless steel. These surgical scalpel handles are manufactured as a single-unit instrument. The groove at the tip of the scalpel handle allows it to fit in and hold the scalpel blades. In medical applications, each scalpel blade must only be used once. The reusable scalpel blades are usually individually packed in sterile pouches but are also offered non-sterile.

We at MEDICURE manufacture medical scalpels in various sizes and designs. There are two most commonly used scalpel handles are flat & round handles. The flat handle is used in the #3 and #4 handles. A #4 handle is larger than a #3. The #5 handle is round-shaped with smooth gripping. The #7 handle is more like a long writing pen, rounded at the front and flat at the back. Blades are manufactured with a corresponding fitment size so that they fit on only one size handle
