How it is used
A reusable metal handle must be cleaned and sterilised between users. A disposable plastic handle removes that step: it is fitted with a blade, used for the session and then discarded with the blade still attached, so no one has to take a used blade off by hand. This suits large classes and work with material that should not be carried from one specimen to the next.
The handle sizes follow the usual blade grouping, so the finer blades numbered 10 to 15 go on the No. 3 handle and the larger blades numbered 20 to 25 go on the No. 4 handle.
- Choose the No. 3 or No. 4 handle to match the blade size.
- Fit the blade onto the handle using forceps.
- Use the scalpel for the practical, cutting away from the hand.
- Discard the handle and blade together in a sharps container.
