How it is used
In a biology laboratory the scalpel blade makes the first clean incision in a specimen and is used for fine work such as separating tissues, cutting thin sections of plant material and trimming specimens for slides. A sharp edge cuts with little pressure, which gives the user more control than a blunt blade and reduces tearing of soft tissue.
Detachable blades are made in numbered patterns that fit matching handle sizes, so the blade pattern should suit the handle in use.
- Fit the blade to the handle using forceps or a needle holder rather than fingers, sliding it onto the fitting until it locks.
- Hold the scalpel like a pencil for fine cuts and keep the cutting stroke away from the body.
- Remove the used blade with forceps and place it straight into a sharps container.
