Micro Scalpel Handle

**Product Overview**

The Micro Scalpel Handle is a reusable surgical instrument that holds a detachable surgical blade, giving the surgeon a stable and controllable grip for making precise incisions in soft tissue. Detachable blades are mounted on the handle and exchanged as the procedure requires, while the handle itself is retained and reprocessed for repeated use.

Within the Aesculap catalog the Micro Scalpel Handle sits in the Scalpels & Handles chapter, under the Scalpel Handles group. As a reusable instrument, the handle is designed to be cleaned, disinfected and steam-sterilized between uses in line with the manufacturer’s reprocessing instructions.

**Design Characteristics**

The handle is produced to a micro specification, giving a lighter, finer instrument suited to delicate and precise work. Across the configurations the range incorporates a micro (fine-work) grind and a round handle. Working lengths recorded for this family span from 135 mm to 450 mm, with each configuration listed against its article. No material, coating or certification is stated for this family in the source catalog, so none is claimed here; only the characteristics printed in the catalog are described.

The Micro Scalpel Handle family is offered as 5 distinct configurations, selectable by the length axis:
• 135 mm — article BB046R
• 145 mm — article BB045T

**Applications**

This instrument supports the following uses, derived from its printed design: holding and controlling a detachable blade for making incisions in soft tissue during open surgery; fine, delicate dissection and precise incisions where a lightweight handle aids control. Applications beyond those supported by the catalog data are not listed.

**Blade Handling & Safety**

Surgical blades are supplied separately as single-use items and are not included with the handle unless otherwise stated. To reduce the risk of injury, blades should be attached to and detached from the handle using a dedicated blade remover or a suitable instrument such as a needle holder rather than by hand, and every used blade should be discarded into an approved sharps container immediately after removal. Matching the blade series to the handle’s blade-mount size ensures a secure fit during use.

**Reprocessing & Handling**

The handle is a reusable instrument supplied non-sterile. It is intended to be cleaned, disinfected and steam-sterilized before each use following validated hospital reprocessing procedures and the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Detachable blades are single-use and are replaced between procedures.
