Scalpels
Cut, trim, and puncture thin materials such as paper, plastic, and fabric. Combine a blade with a compatible handle (sold separately).
Steel blades are stronger than stainless steel blades, but can rust over time and shouldn’t be used in sterile or corrosive environments.
Stainless steel blades are more corrosion resistant than steel blades and can be sterilized.
#10 blades are the most commonly used scalpel blades for simple, straight cuts.
Disposable Scalpels
Slice and pierce fabric, paper, and other thin materials, then discard these scalpels when you’re done. All have a stainless steel blade that resists corrosion and can be sterilized.
Style A scalpels are made from a single piece of stainless steel. They’re stronger than scalpels with a plastic handle, so you can cut with more force.
#10 blades are the most common scalpel blades. Use them for simple, straight cuts.
