Description

The 50 pcs scalpel handle #3 set is the industry-standard instrument for precise surgical cutting, designed to securely hold interchangeable blades for sharp dissection. The SAG Surgical No. 3 scalpel handle is manufactured from premium stainless steel and features an ergonomic, serrated grip for optimal control during surgical, veterinary, and laboratory procedures.

The No. 3 scalpel handle is designed to be compatible with the size 10 series disposable blades, including #10, #11, #12, and #15 blades . This versatility makes it a staple in operating rooms, clinics, and labs across multiple specialties. The blade fits into a precision-machined slot at the distal tip, ensuring a secure lock that prevents accidental slippage or movement during use .

Constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this reusable scalpel handle is engineered to withstand repeated sterilization cycles in an autoclave .

The #3 handle features horizontal serrations that provide a non-slip grip for the thumb and forefinger, improving control and reducing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures . Some models also include a metric ruler with centimeter and millimeter markings along the handle, allowing for accurate tissue measurement during operations .
