The Scalpel Handle no.3 (Product Code: SLE/EDE/18) is a stainless steel BP handle — the reusable holder into which detachable surgical blades are fitted. At 125mm long it gives a steady grip for controlled incisions in school, college and teacher-training dissections, and because only the blade is changed when it dulls, one handle can serve a laboratory for many practical sessions. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) in Ambala and offered by the company as a biology lab equipment supplier in India.

A detachable-blade handle is the standard choice when a lab wants a sharp, consistent cutting edge for every class without regrinding fixed blades. The blade is slid onto the fitting at the tip of the handle and removed the same way; both steps should be done with forceps or a blade remover rather than fingers, with the cutting edge pointed away from the body. Hold the handle like a pencil for fine cuts through skin and body wall, and let the blade do the work rather than pressing hard.
When building a dissection set for biology in India, many teachers keep a few spare handles so that blades can be fitted before the lesson and removed safely afterwards. Used blades belong in a sharps container, never in general waste. Wash the handle in warm soapy water, rinse and dry it completely, and store it with no blade attached.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited manufactures this handle under its ScienceLab trade name at Ambala, Haryana, a long-standing centre for scientific instrument making in India. Our company profile describes the business and the laboratory ranges it produces.
