Scalpels

Scalpels

Hurst Scientific are suppliers of high grade laboratory equipment suitable for use in surgery and a range of other scientific disciplines. Our products include scalpels and surgical instruments routinely used in clinics, laboratories and hospitals.

Scalpels are commonly used by surgeons to incise skin and soft tissues. Scalpels come in different shapes and sizes, and are designed for different purposes depending on the delicacy of the surgical procedure being performed.

Large incisions such as those made during a laparotomy require larger scalpels such as a No.22 blade. For more intricate incisions like the excision of a skin lesion, finer scalpels like a No.10 blade will be used. Stab incisions are usually made with scalpels using a No.11 or No. 15 blade.

Disposable blades are a popular choice in clinics because they do not require sharpening. Attached blades are preferred in situations when the blade is being used to perform incisions in heavy connective tissue.

Hurst Scientific distributes dissecting scalpels, preparation scalpels and solid scalpels, as well as handles for scalpels in a range of sizes. Browse our online catalogue to see our list of available scalpels and handles.
