Scalpel Handle No. 4

Product Overview

The Scalpel Handle No. 4 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. The handle uses a No. 4 blade mount, which determines the series of detachable blades that fit the instrument. Blades are exchanged as the procedure requires while the handle itself is retained and reprocessed for repeated use.

Within the source catalogue the Scalpel Handle No. 4 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.

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; procedures requiring access to deep or recessed anatomy where additional length is needed. 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.
