Surgical Blades Stainless Steel Size 20 – Box of 100

Surgical Blades Size 20 – Large Curved Precision for General Dissection

The clinical standard for deep tissue incisions and major surgical access. Surgical Blades Size 20 are high-performance cutting instruments meticulously engineered with a broad, curved "belly." Characterized by a large, sweeping cutting edge and a sturdy profile, these blades act as a mechanical necessity for surgeons who require controlled, deep incisions through dense tissue, muscle, and fascia. This geometry is specifically optimized for procedures requiring significant downward pressure and a long cutting stroke, ensuring a clean, linear incision with minimal mechanical resistance.

Key Features for Professional Surgical Excellence

• Broad Curved Blade Geometry: The Size 20 features a large, rounded cutting surface. This "belly" design maximizes the contact area between the steel and the tissue, allowing for smoother, deeper incisions compared to smaller, narrow blades.
• Standard #4 Handle Fitment: Engineered for a rock-solid, vibration-free attachment to the #4 Surgical Knife Handle series (including #4L and #6). This fitment provides the necessary stability and leverage for heavy-duty orthopedic and abdominal work.
• Premium Stainless Steel Forging: Crafted from medical-grade stainless steel that offers a superior balance of hardness and edge retention. The material is highly resistant to corrosion and maintains its "razor-sharp" integrity even when navigating tough anatomical layers.
• Precision-Ground Tapered Edge: Each blade is micro-honed to a precise taper to reduce tissue "drag." This ensures clean wound margins, which is a critical factor in promoting faster post-operative healing and reducing scarring.
• Convenient Bulk Clinical Pack: Supplied in a box of 100 individually foil-wrapped units. This ensures a consistent, ready-to-use supply for high-volume hospitals, trauma centers, and veterinary clinics.
• Individually Gamma-Sterilized: Manufactured to exceed international aseptic standards, every blade is individually sterilized and sealed, ensuring total patient safety and clinical integrity for every operative case.

Detailed Product Description

The Size 20 Surgical Blade represents a pinnacle of general-purpose surgical ergonomics, designed to solve the problem of "shredded" tissue in major surgical sites. In procedures such as abdominal laparotomies, orthopedic joint exposures, or large-animal veterinary surgery, the ability to make a clean, confident incision through thick dermal and muscular layers is vital. The Size 20 acts as a reliable "mechanical engine" for the surgeon, providing the surface area needed for high-leverage dissection.

At its core, the blade is built for professional durability. The stainless steel composition is specifically chosen for its ability to resist dulling when encountering fibrous tissue or calcified structures. This mechanical reliability is essential for reducing "tissue shredding," which is critical for achieving optimal surgical outcomes.

Built to exceed the rigorous standards of modern clinical environments, these blades offer a dependable, single-use solution that eliminates the risks associated with cross-contamination. They are a foundational tool for surgical teams who demand a high-capacity cutting instrument that balances power with precision.

FAQ Section

Q: Which handles are compatible with Size 20 blades?

A: Size 20 blades use the large fitment interface. They are compatible with the #4, #4L, and #6 handles. They are not compatible with the smaller #3 handle series.

Q: What is the difference between a Size 20 and a Size 10 blade?

A: Both feature a curved belly, but the Size 20 is significantly larger and designed for the heavy-duty #4 handle. The Size 10 is smaller and designed for the #3 handle, typically used for finer incisions.

Q: Can these blades be used for micro-dissection?

A: No. Due to their large size and high-leverage design, they are intended for major incisions. For micro-surgery or fine work, smaller blades like Size 15 or 11 are recommended.

Q: Are these blades reusable?

A: No. These are single-use sterile instruments. Reusing surgical blades can lead to infection, cross-contamination, and poor cutting performance due to edge degradation.

Q: How should I dispose of used Size 20 blades?

A: All surgical blades must be disposed of in a puncture-resistant medical sharps container immediately after use, following standard biohazard safety protocols.
