Scalpel Safety St Disposable Size 12 Bx/10

Why Choose the Safety Disposable Scalpel – Size 12?

Sharps injuries from scalpel blades remain one of the most common occupational injuries in healthcare — and the majority occur not during use, but during blade attachment, removal, and disposal. Safety disposable scalpels eliminate all three of these exposure moments entirely. The blade arrives pre-assembled and sterile, requiring no handling before use. The integrated safety mechanism — retractable blade or protective sheath, depending on the model — covers the blade immediately after use before disposal, eliminating the second and most dangerous exposure window. The No. 12 blade shape is a curved hook-style blade with the cutting edge on the inner concave curve. This geometry makes it particularly suited for suture removal, small precision incisions in confined areas, and podiatric and dermatologic procedures where a straight blade is less controllable. The stainless steel blade provides consistent sharpness for clean, precise cuts, and the ergonomic plastic handle provides comfortable grip and control. Each scalpel is individually sterile packaged and single-use — ensuring consistent sterility and sharpness for every procedure. Packaged 10 per box.

Key Features

• No. 12 curved hook-style blade — cutting edge on inner concave curve for precision cuts in tight areas
• Integrated safety mechanism (retractable or shielded blade) protects the blade before and after use
• Pre-assembled and sterile — no blade handling before or after use
• Single-use disposable design for consistent sterility and sharpness with every procedure
• Stainless steel blade for sharp, clean, precise incisions
• Ergonomic plastic handle for comfortable grip and controlled cutting
• Individually sterile packaged
• 10 scalpels per box

Benefits

• Integrated safety mechanism eliminates the blade handling steps responsible for most scalpel sharps injuries
• No. 12 blade shape provides precise, controlled hook-style cuts in confined or sensitive areas
• Pre-assembled sterile design removes blade attachment as a step and an injury risk
• Single-use scalpel ensures consistent blade sharpness — no degradation from prior use
• Faster setup than traditional reusable scalpel systems — open packaging, use, dispose
• Meets modern clinical sharps safety standards and helps satisfy occupational safety requirements

Clinical & Typical Applications

Suture removal in medical clinic, emergency, and wound care settings where the No. 12 curved blade provides controlled thread-lifting and cutting

Minor surgical and procedural settings where a disposable sterile scalpel is required for small incisions, tissue sampling, or excisions

Podiatry procedures including nail avulsion, callus removal, and lesion treatment where the curved No. 12 blade allows precise work on confined foot structures

Dermatology and skin biopsy procedures requiring a sharp, sterile single-use blade for lesion excision and sample collection

Dental procedures requiring a precise, sterile disposable scalpel for soft tissue incision and oral surgical applications

Clinical settings with sharps safety policies or occupational health requirements mandating the use of safety scalpels over traditional blade-and-handle systems
