The Scalpel Handle No 3 offers a wide array of surgical advantages. Its principal use is to provide reliable support for multiple blades to perform precise incisions. For this purpose, the instrument features a slotted tip designed to insert and statically hold the blade.

The Scalpel Handle No.4 is usually used with smaller blades that have a curved cutting edge, replaceable surgical blades. It can also be with the pointed blade. These handles and blade work well for microdissection or fine surgeries when making precise incisions.

B.P. handles (plastic) are the handles which are specially designed and crafted to hold the B.P. blades in most appropriate and safe manner. These handles are made up of top grade plastic materials and hence are very durable and light weight.

The Scalpel Handle No.4 is usually used with smaller blades that have a curved cutting edge, replaceable surgical blades. It can also be with the pointed blade. These handles and blade work well for microdissection or fine surgeries when making precise incisions.

This handle is designed to hold blade sizes 10-15c and forms a scalpel once the pieces are attached. The knife, therefore, can be used in various surgical procedures to make incisions or dissect certain areas.

Size #4 scalpel blade handles are designed to fit a range of scalpel blade sizes. Podiatrists often use size #23 blades which fit on a size #4 scalpel handle. Other compatible scalpel blades sizes include No. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 22A, 24, 25, 25A, 26, 27 and 36.

Surgical knives, commonly known as scalpels, are used for making precise incisions and dissections in medical procedures. They typically consist of a reusable stainless steel handle and a disposable, sterile blade made of carbon or stainless steel. Types of Surgical KnivesSurgical knives are identified by their blade number, which indicates their specific shape and size for different procedures. 

• No. 10 Blade: The most common blade used in general surgery for making large, curved incisions in skin and subcutaneous tissues.
• No. 11 Blade: An elongated, triangular blade with a sharp point, primarily used for stab incisions, such as lancing an abscess or inserting a chest drain.
• No. 12 Blade: A small, crescent-shaped blade, often used for removing sutures or in certain ear, nose, and throat (ENT) procedures.
• No. 15 Blade: Features a small, curved cutting edge for making concise, precise incisions, making it ideal for delicate surgeries like plastic or pediatric procedures.
• No. 20-25 Blades: Larger, broader curved blades used for larger incisions through thicker tissues or muscles, often used in general and orthopedic surgeries. 

Surgical blades, also known as scalpels, are precision instruments used to make clean cuts in skin and tissue. In 2026, they are mainly categorized by size, material, and handle type (Bard-Parker or BP handle)
 Material Comparison
Modern blades are primarily manufactured from two types of steel. 
Carbon Steel: Preferred for initial sharpness and hardness. It is cost-effective but can rust if exposed to moisture without proper care.

• Stainless Steel: Resistant to corrosion and rust, making it suitable for prolonged procedures or wet environments. It is durable and maintains sharpness longer than carbon steel.
