These SWANN MORTON scalpels come as a fully integrated unit: the stainless steel blade is permanently fixed to an ergonomic handle, with the whole instrument sterilized and individually packaged. This single-use design removes the need to mount or remove a blade on a reusable handle, a step that often causes accidental needlestick-type injuries for the practitioner or assistant. Supplied in a box of 10 units, they are suited to minor oral surgery, biopsies and one-off incisions where a ready-to-use, single-use instrument is preferable to a traditional blade-and-handle assembly. Their stainless steel edge ensures a clean cut straight out of the sterile pack.
