The Swann-Morton Retractable safety scalpel supports and enhances safe passing procedures and protocols already practiced within the Operating Room and Theatres.

Colour coded for ease of blade shape recognition the scalpels now feature a stronger temporary forward lock position to prevent uncontrolled retraction when contacting with bone during use, an additional notch to hold the blade more securely in the passing position and a rear permanent lock to be engaged prior to final disposal in a sharps container.

Available sterile in blade sizes 10, 11P and 15 the retractable scalpel is also supplied in a bulk non sterile pack as it is has become an integral component of the modern day procedure kit and tray.
