Scalpel, Stainless Steel
The Scalpel, Stainless Steel (Product Code: SLE/EDE/27) is a steel scalpel with a 130mm handle and a 45mm blade, made entirely in stainless steel. It is the cutting instrument of the dissection bench, used to make the first incision and to open body walls, stems or fruits cleanly so that other tools can follow. Suited to college practicals and senior school classes, it belongs in any dissection set for biology in India and is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Typical Use
With a 130mm handle the scalpel sits comfortably in the hand for longer cuts, and the 45mm blade gives enough edge to open a specimen in one controlled stroke. Students are taught to lift the skin or body wall with forceps and cut shallowly just beneath it, so that the organs underneath are not damaged. In botany, the same scalpel is used for longitudinal and transverse sections of flowers, fruits and stems.
Among zoology lab equipment in India, a scalpel calls for clear safety rules: carry it point-down, never pass it hand to hand, and always cut away from the body onto a firm board or tray. After use, clean the blade carefully by wiping from the back edge towards the tip, dry it immediately, and store the scalpel in a case or rack where the edge cannot be knocked against other instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the handle and blade lengths?
The handle is 130mm long and the blade is 45mm long.
What material is the scalpel made from?
Stainless steel.
Is the blade fixed or replaceable?
The listing gives the handle and blade lengths but does not specify the blade fitting. If you specifically need replaceable blades, see the Scalpel Handle no.3, or contact us to confirm this scalpel’s design.
How should the edge be looked after?
Cut only onto wood, wax or a pad — never glass or metal — clean and dry the blade straight after use, and store it so the edge does not touch other tools.
Is this scalpel suitable for younger students?
It is a sharp cutting instrument, so it is best used under close teacher supervision; many schools let younger classes use probes and blunt tools while the teacher makes the incisions.
