Product Information
Full details
The Sohngen Disposable Scalpel is designed for medical professionals, laboratory technicians, and emergency responders who require sterile, high-precision cutting tools for minor surgical procedures. These scalpels provide the significant benefit of eliminating cross-contamination risks and the labor-intensive process of sterilizing reusable metal instruments. The primary caveat for users is that these are single-use devices, meaning they must be properly disposed of immediately after each procedure to maintain safety standards.

FAQs
Are these scalpels autoclavable?
No, these are single-use disposable instruments and should not be subjected to autoclaving or sterilization procedures.
How many scalpels come in a package?
Each set contains 10 individually sealed pieces.
Can I resharpen the blade after use?
No. These are designed specifically for single-use applications to ensure safety and hygiene; attempting to resharpen them is unsafe and violates clinical best practices.
What is the best way to dispose of these after use?
Used scalpels should be disposed of in a designated, puncture-resistant sharps container according to your facility's medical waste protocols.
Are these suitable for dental procedures?
They are designed for minor surgical and laboratory use; please verify compatibility with your specific clinical guidelines for dental procedures.
Troubleshooting
Packaging seal appears torn or open
Do not use the scalpel. The sterility is compromised; discard it immediately and select a new, intact unit.
Blade feels dull or ineffective during use
Stop the procedure, safely discard the unit, and replace it with a new one to avoid tissue trauma.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scalpels do not require any setup; they are functional the moment they are removed from their individual sterile packaging. Care for this product is limited to maintaining its integrity before use: store the scalpels in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the packaging seal. Once the seal is broken, the scalpel must be used or discarded. Always ensure you are following local medical waste disposal regulations when disposing of used blades, typically by placing them in an approved sharps container immediately after the procedure is complete.
