The Swann-Morton Retractable safety scalpel supports and enhances safe passing procedures and protocols already practiced within the Operating Room and Theatres.
Colour coded for ease of blade shape recognition the scalpels now feature a stronger temporary forward lock position to prevent uncontrolled retraction when contacting with bone during use, an additional notch to hold the blade more securely in the passing position and a rear permanent lock to be engaged prior to final disposal in a sharps container.
The range has been recently extended with the addition of blade sizes 10A,10R,12,14 and 15c
All these sizes are available in single peel sterile packs and a bulk non sterile format for the kit and tray packers.
