Dynarex Medi-Cut Retractable Safety Scalpel #10 Steel Blade Wrapped

Description

Product Overview

The Dynarex Medi-Cut Disposable Scalpel is engineered for professionals who require a reliable cutting instrument that combines safety, precision, and convenience. Constructed with a high‑grade stainless steel blade, the #10 blade delivers a sharp edge that maintains its cutting performance throughout the intended use. The handle incorporates a retractable safety mechanism that locks the blade securely after use, reducing the risk of accidental puncture during handling or disposal. Each unit is gamma‑sterilized to meet stringent laboratory and medical standards, then sealed in an individual pouch to preserve sterility until the moment of use. The compact dimensions of the scalpel—approximately 6.18 x 3.43 x 1.57 inches—make it easy to store in a standard lab tray or surgical kit, while the lightweight design (about 3.2 ounces) minimizes hand fatigue during extended procedures.

Usage

This scalpel is suitable for a wide range of applications across multiple disciplines. In a laboratory setting, it excels at tissue dissection, sample preparation, and precise trimming of biological specimens. Medical professionals appreciate its role in dermaplaning, removal of skin tags, and minor surgical procedures where a controlled, clean incision is essential. Beyond clinical environments, the blade’s sharpness and the handle’s ergonomic shape support artistic endeavors such as detailed sculpting, model making, and taxidermy, where fine control over material removal is critical. The disposable nature of the instrument ensures that cross‑contamination is avoided, making it a practical choice for high‑throughput settings where rapid turnover of sterile tools is required. Users should always retract the blade after each use and dispose of the entire unit in a designated sharps container to maintain a safe workspace.

FAQ

What size blade does this scalpel use?

The scalpel is equipped with a #10 stainless steel blade, which is a common size for both medical and laboratory applications, offering a balance of strength and precision.

Yes, the sharp, durable blade and ergonomic handle make it appropriate for detailed artistic work such as model making, taxidermy, and fine sculpting, provided that proper safety protocols are followed.

How should the used scalpel be disposed of?

Once the blade is retracted and locked, the entire scalpel should be placed in a designated sharps container. This ensures safe handling and compliance with hazardous waste regulations.
