Description

The Bard-Parker Safety Scalpel, Size 15, is a sterile, single-use surgical instrument designed for tissue separation and procedures requiring a sharp blade for puncturing or cutting. It features a size 15 stainless steel blade intended for precise surgical incisions. The instrument combines the cutting functionality of a surgical scalpel with an integrated safety design to help reduce the risk of accidental blade contact during handling, assembly, and disposal.

The scalpel incorporates a one-handed activation mechanism that supports convenient operation in clinical and surgical environments. Its design accommodates both left-handed and right-handed users, providing flexibility during instrument handling. The stainless steel blade provides a sharp cutting edge for controlled tissue incision and separation in procedures requiring precision.

A protective mechanism keeps the blade covered during both assembly and disposal, helping minimize exposure to the sharp cutting edge. This safety feature supports workplace sharps-injury prevention practices and assists healthcare facilities in meeting applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements and other relevant safety regulations. The instrument is supplied sterile and intended for single-use applications, eliminating the need for routine reprocessing.
