A No. 22 blade has a large, curved cutting edge and is used for making skin incisions and other straightforward cuts where a broad belly of blade is useful. Because it is disposable, a fresh, sharp blade is opened for each patient and discarded afterwards, so there is no resharpening or reprocessing of the cutting edge.
The supplier's safety instructions are specific: wear gloves, always fit the blade to the handle and remove it with forceps rather than fingers, use aseptic technique, and put used blades into a sealed container to prevent injuries. Those sealed containers are then collected and destroyed by incineration in a controlled environment. As a lab consumables supplier in India, we can quote nitrile gloves and sharps containers in the same offer as the blades.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which does business as ScienceLab, supplies the Sterile Disposable Scalpel Blade No. 22 from Ambala, Haryana, to hospitals, clinics, nursing and medical colleges, and distributors. Blades are consumables that institutions reorder regularly, and the company can quote them together with handles, gloves and sharps containers.
