Surgical Scalpels & Blades
Scalpels are small and extremely sharp bladed Medical Instruments used for surgery or anatomical dissection. They are foundation instruments of any surgeons tool-set. A "surgical scalpel" and a "medical scalpel" are the same things. Sometimes they may be referred to as a "surgeon's scalpel." They may be single-use, disposable or re-usable. Most disposable scalpels are designed for single-use. Scalpel blades are usually individually packed in sterile pouches. Some manufactures also offer non-sterile scalpel blades. The handles are often made to be reusable whereas each blade is used only once and then disposed of for sanitary purposes. Disposable Scalpels usually have a handle that is made of cheaper material such as plastic. That way the entire scalpel can be disposed of after use.
