Surgical Blades Stainless Steel Size 11 – Box of 100

Surgical Blades Size 11 – Precision Point for Stab Incisions & Fine Dissection

The clinical standard for "stab" incisions, vascular access, and intricate linear cutting. Surgical Blades Size 11 are specialized cutting instruments meticulously engineered with an elongated triangular profile. Characterized by a straight back, a sharp hypotenuse edge, and a needle-like point, these blades act as a mechanical necessity for surgeons who require immediate, controlled penetration of skin or vessels. This specific geometry is optimized for procedures requiring "puncturing" maneuvers, such as drain placements, laparoscopic port entries, and arteriotomies, ensuring that the clinician can execute deep, localized incisions with absolute directional stability.

Key Features for Professional Precision

• Elongated Triangular Geometry: The Size 11 blade features a rigid, straight cutting edge that terminates in a sharp micro-point. This design allows for a "stab" motion that is more stable and predictable than curved blades, making it ideal for creating small, precise openings.
• Standard #3 Fitment: Engineered for seamless compatibility with the #3 Surgical Knife Handle series (including #3L, #7, and #9). When paired with a #7 handle, the Size 11 becomes the ultimate tool for deep-site vascular and nerve dissections.
• Premium Stainless Steel Forging: Forged from high-grade medical steel that provides an exceptional balance of hardness and tip integrity. The material is highly resistant to corrosion and maintains its "needle-sharp" point even when penetrating tough dermal layers.
• Precision-Honed Straight Edge: The cutting surface is micro-ground to a fine taper along the entire length of the triangle. This ensures that once the initial puncture is made, the blade can extend the incision linearly with minimal mechanical resistance.
• Convenient Bulk Clinical Pack: Supplied in a box of 100 individually foil-wrapped units. This ensures a dependable, sterile supply for busy hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, and high-volume veterinary practices.
• Individually Gamma-Sterilized: Manufactured to exceed international medical standards, every blade is individually sterilized and sealed, ensuring total aseptic integrity and patient safety for every procedure.

Detailed Product Description

The Size 11 Surgical Blade represents a pinnacle of specialized ergonomics, designed to solve the problem of "wandering" incisions in delicate tissue. In procedures such as central line placements, abscess drainages, or cardiac surgeries, the ability to create a puncture that is exactly the width of the blade is a vital safety advantage. The rigid back of the Size 11 acts as a structural spine, preventing the blade from flexing during the initial "stab" phase of an incision.

At its core, the blade is built for professional reliability. The stainless steel composition is specifically chosen for its ability to maintain a micro-fine point, which is essential for the initial entry into high-tension fascia or arterial walls. This mechanical reliability is essential for reducing unintentional tissue trauma, which is critical for achieving optimal functional results in vascular and microsurgical environments.

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 or instrument degradation. They are a foundational tool for surgical specialists who prioritize rapid, high-precision access in their operative kits.

FAQ Section

Q: What is the main difference between a Size 11 and a Size 15 blade? A: A Size 11 is triangular and pointed, used for "stab" incisions and straight-line cutting. A Size 15 is smaller and curved, used for delicate, rounded incisions and general fine dissection.

Q: Which handles are compatible with Size 11 blades? A: Size 11 blades use the small fitment standard and are compatible with #3, #3L, #7, and #9 handles. They are not compatible with the larger #4 handle.

Q: Are these blades reusable? A: No. These are designed as single-use sterile instruments. Reusing surgical blades can lead to infection, cross-contamination, and a significant loss in cutting precision.

Q: Why is Size 11 often used in vascular surgery? A: Its sharp point and straight edge allow a surgeon to puncture a vessel wall with extreme precision and then extend that opening to the exact length needed for an anastomosis or catheter.

Q: How should I dispose of used Size 11 blades?

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