Changing your blades

To avoid accidental cuts, ALWAYS use forceps, needle holders, or other engineering controls when changing or manipulating blades. Cuts from scalpel blades are one of the most common sharps injuries in the lab.

Blade disposal

Place used blades in a sharps container and dispose of them according to local guidelines.

Cleaning your instruments

Before sterilizing, clean instruments using the following protocol.

  • Rinse off any fluids or tissues with water.
  • Manually clean instruments with a soft plastic brush and a pH neutral detergent. (Never use steel wool or wire brushes.)
  • Thoroughly dry instruments with a clean towel. (This will minimize the risk of corrosion and water spots.)

WARNING:

  • Low pH detergents may breakdown the stainless protective surface and cause black staining. 
  • High pH detergents may cause surface deposits of brown stains, which can interfere with the smooth operation of the instrument.

  • To avoid accidental cuts, ALWAYS use forceps, needle holders, or other engineering controls when changing or manipulating blades. Cuts from scalpel blades are one of the most common sharps injuries in the lab.
  • Place used blades in a sharps container and dispose of them according to local guidelines.
