Scalpel Blade Remover
Free!
The Scalpel Blade Remover is a no-touch, disposable device that detaches and contains used blades in one motion. Feed the blade into the slot, lift the handle, and the blade drops into a puncture-resistant chamber—no forceps, no hand contact. Compatible with common handles and blade sizes, it speeds room turnover, helps prevent sharps injuries, and simplifies compliant disposal for dental, surgical, and clinical teams focused on safety and efficiency.
Description
A Scalpel Blade Remover is a single-use device that safely detaches used blades from scalpel handles without hand contact. The blade is fed into a guided slot; an internal cam grips the tang and lifts the blade off the handle, dropping it into a puncture-resistant chamber. This reduces percutaneous injury risk at the most hazardous moment of a procedure—blade change and disposal—while speeding turnover between cases.
Key features and benefits:
-
No-touch removal mechanism to help prevent sharps injuries and cross-contamination.
-
One-handed operation; audible or tactile feedback confirms capture and release.
-
Puncture-resistant, leak-resistant housing with secure closure for final disposal.
-
Compatible with common No. 3 and No. 4 scalpel handles and standard blade sizes.
-
Clear fill window and count markings to monitor capacity.
-
Compact footprint; optional bracket for trolley or wall placement.
-
Supplied sterile or clean for use in treatment rooms and operatory settings.
Typical uses and settings:
-
Oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontal surgery, implant procedures.
-
General surgery, dermatology, podiatry, veterinary, and research labs.
-
Ideal for clinics implementing sharps-injury reduction programs and standardized instrument turnover.
How it compares:
-
Versus removing blades with forceps or a hemostat, a remover provides a fixed pathway and enclosed capture, reducing slips and splash risk.
-
Versus reusable removal tools, a disposable unit eliminates reprocessing steps and maintains consistent performance throughout its service life.
Quality and compliance notes:
-
Designed to support sharps safety protocols and best practices for handling, containment, and disposal of contaminated blades.
-
Constructed from durable, impact-resistant materials suitable for clinical environments.
