Scalpels and Blades

Scalpels are precision surgical instruments designed for cutting skin and tissue.
They consist of a reusable or disposable handle and a sharp, detachable blade.
Blades are made from stainless steel or carbon steel for durability and sharpness.
Common blade types include #10 (curved), #11 (pointed), and #15 (small, curved).
Each blade type serves a specific purpose in medical and surgical procedures.
Scalpels are widely used in surgeries, autopsies, and laboratory dissections.
Their fine edge allows for controlled, clean, and accurate incisions.
Proper handling and disposal of blades are essential for safety and hygiene.
