These individually-wrapped stainless steel scalpel blades are sterile and ready to use. Curved cutting edge is ideal for precision cutting of tissues and other lab specimens. Each blade comes in a vacuum-sealed foil pouch to ensure sterility and to prevent accidental punctures.

These scalpel blades can be used with both #3 and #7 scalpel blade handles (found in our Mycology Lab Instrument Kit.)

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.

⚠ CUT HAZARD:

IMPROPER USE OR CONTACT MAY RESULT IN INJURY.

Always keep blades and sharp edges away from fingers and body. Do not use if blades or sharp edges are dull or otherwise damaged or if the handle is broken or loose. Do not pick up by the blade or sharp edge. When not in use, store in a safe place.
