Guarded Scalpel
The new guarded scalpels carry a more substantial protective closed end guard whilst the handle is marked with the CE symbol and a graduated measure (for indication only).
Disposable Scalpels
Standard, Guarded and Sabre Disposable Sterile Scalpels offer convenience in a number of user environments be it on the ward, in emergency or trauma units or even out in the field with the Paramedics. The Guarded Scalpel along with the minor "thumb" scalpels are also available in bulk and non sterile and form an integral part of many customised procedure trays, packs and kits.
Swann-Morton also offer a range of high visibility red handled Retractable Safety Scalpels to reinforce existing safe passing procedures and protocols within the Hospital system. These are now available in all the popular shapes 10, 11P, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 to assist in compliance with EU directive 2010/32/EU.
Please note that in our experience we feel that the standard sterile unguarded scalpels are not suitable for reprocessing by ETO as this may breach the integrity of the packet.
