Scalpels are precision surgical instruments designed for making incisions in tissues during medical procedures. They are typically composed of a small, sharp blade attached to a handle, ensuring fine control and accuracy. Scalpels are commonly used in surgeries, dissections, and minor procedures, offering minimal tissue trauma due to their sharpness. Available in various sizes and blade shapes, they are essential tools in both clinical and laboratory settings. Ensuring quality and sterility, scalpels are critical for successful surgical outcomes and are a fundamental part of a healthcare provider’s toolkit.
