What Is the No. 22 Scalpel Blade Used For?

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.
