Scalpel Handle No. 3
Scalpel Handle No. 3 (Product Code: SLE/SI/16) is a reusable bistoury handle used to hold an interchangeable blade for surgical incisions in hospitals, clinics and surgical training labs. Surgeons select a handle by its number, which describes the shape of the distal end and so decides which blades it takes; this No. 3 handle is approximately 13.5 cm long. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, one of the educational laboratory instrument suppliers serving medical and nursing colleges.

What Is a No. 3 Scalpel Handle Used For?
A scalpel handle turns a detachable blade into a controllable cutting instrument. The blade slides onto the fitting at the distal end, is used for the incision, and is then removed and discarded while the handle is cleaned and used again. Because the fitting differs between handle numbers, a No. 3 handle only accepts blades made for that fitting, so check blade and handle numbers together before ordering either.
The approximately 13.5 cm length suits fine, pen-grip work on the surface. Always load and unload blades with forceps, and put removed blades straight into a sharps container. Colleges buying school and college lab equipments for anatomy or zoology dissection can also choose the handle listed in our dissection range.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Handle number required (this listing is No. 3) and quantity
- The blade numbers you intend to use, so we can confirm they fit a No. 3 handle
- Whether blades, forceps or sharps containers should be quoted with the handles
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies the Scalpel Handle No. 3 from Ambala, Haryana, to hospitals, surgical skills centres, medical and veterinary teaching departments, and distributors. Because handles are reused and blades are consumed, many buyers place one handle order and arrange blade supplies separately; both can be discussed in the same enquiry.
