GENERAL SURGERY Instrumets Sharp 1 scalpel

Sharp Instruments

Scalpel

A scalpel is a small knife used in surgical operations. In surgical practice the term knife refers to a cutting tool other than a scalpel and is usually reserved for amputation knives and skins grafting knives which are substantially larger than scalpels. The scalpels in use are:

•   Scalpel (Fig. 8.1)

•   Scalpel handle (Fig. 8.2A and B)

•   Scalpel blades (Fig. 8.3)

            Scalpels are used for incising skin and deeper structures to obtain access. They are very sharp and thus cause minimum injury to incised tissue. Disposable separate blades are sterile when packed and thus require no autoclaving thus there is no loss of sharpness.
