SCALPELBLADE 16 cm: a safe forceps for removing scalpel blades in medical environments
The SCALPELBLADE 16 cm from Frimed is a specialised forceps designed to remove scalpel blades from their handles safely and with great precision. This model is distinguished by its curved shape, which follows the line of the scalpel handle and allows for an oblique approach, thus limiting the risk of accidental injury during the procedure. This curved angle also facilitates access to delicate areas where straight forceps may be unsuitable.
Made from medical-grade stainless steel, the SCALPELBLADE 16 cm forceps offer optimal durability and are fully compatible with autoclave sterilisation protocols. Its 16 cm length allows for comfortable handling while maintaining sufficient distance between the user's hand and the blade. It is suitable for hospital environments as well as anatomical pathology laboratories or forensic medicine departments, where staff safety is a top priority.
Its anatomical shape with a serrated tip ensures excellent grip on the blade, even when it is slightly depressed or stuck to the handle. The ratchet locking system reinforces the stability of the forceps once the blade is gripped, preventing accidental release. This mechanism also allows the tool to be used with one hand if necessary, making the entire procedure smoother and safer.
This SCALPELBLADE model stands out from other forceps thanks to its curved shape and robustness. It is not just a handling tool, but an instrument designed for a precise and high-risk task: the extraction of a sharp object after use. That is why every detail of its manufacture has been designed to maximise operator safety while ensuring uncompromising efficiency. Its compatibility with different types of standardised handles makes it a versatile instrument, ready to be integrated into any surgical tray.
