Frequently Asked Questions
What are disposable scalpels used for?
Sterile disposable scalpels are used during surgical procedures and minor operations, allowing surgeons to easily cut through skin and muscle without causing unnecessary trauma to the tissue.
Do scalpels have removable blades?
This depends on the scalpel you are using, if it is a disposable scalpel (likely with a plastic handle) then the blade is not designed to be removed. On the other hand, a reusable scalpel handle does allow you to remove and replace the blades.
