Surgical Blades Stainless Steel Size 15 – Box of 100 Individually Sealed Foil Peel Packs

Surgical Blades Size 15 – Small Curved Precision for Fine Dissection

The clinical standard for high-finesse incisions and detailed tissue management. Surgical Blades Size 15 are the foundational choice for surgeons requiring microscopic accuracy in restricted operative fields. Characterized by a short, precisely curved "belly" and a refined tip, these blades act as a mechanical necessity for procedures where control is paramount over cutting depth. This geometry is specifically optimized for creating small, rounded incisions and performing delicate dissections in plastic surgery, hand surgery, and dermatology, ensuring that the clinician can navigate complex anatomy with maximum tactile feedback.

Key Features for Professional Fine-Scale Precision

• Refined Small-Curve Geometry: The Size 15 features a compact, sweeping cutting edge that is significantly smaller than general-purpose blades. This allows for a shorter turning radius, making it ideal for following intricate anatomical contours or creating circular incisions.
• Standard #3 Fitment: Engineered for seamless compatibility with the #3 Surgical Knife Handle series (including #3L, #7, and #9). When paired with the slender #7 handle, the Size 15 provides the ultimate reach and finesse for deep-site dissections.
• Premium Stainless Steel Forging: Crafted from high-tensile medical steel that provides a superior balance of hardness and edge retention. The material is highly resistant to corrosion and designed to maintain its "razor-honed" integrity throughout complex, delicate cases.
• Individually Sealed Foil Peel Packs: Each blade is isolated in a medical-grade foil pack, ensuring absolute sterility and protection from the environment. The easy-to-peel design allows for rapid, aseptic transfer to the sterile field.
• Precision-Ground Micro-Taper: The cutting surface is honed to a micro-fine taper, drastically reducing tissue "drag." This ensures incredibly clean wound margins, which is a critical factor in minimizing scarring and accelerating primary intention healing.
• Convenient Bulk Clinical Pack: Supplied in a box of 100 units, providing a dependable and cost-effective supply for high-volume hospitals, specialized surgical centers, and veterinary clinics.

Detailed Product Description

The Size 15 Surgical Blade represents the pinnacle of small-site surgical ergonomics, designed to solve the problem of "over-cutting" in delicate tissue. In procedures such as skin lesion excisions, tendon repairs, or pediatric surgery, the ability to make a precise incision exactly where intended is a vital clinical advantage. The Size 15 acts as a precision "stylus," allowing the surgeon to use the tip for detail work and the belly for smooth, controlled separation of tissue layers.

At its core, the blade is built for professional reliability. The stainless steel composition is specifically chosen for its ability to hold a micro-fine edge, which is essential for penetrating tough dermal layers or fine mucosal tissues without tearing. This mechanical reliability is essential for achieving optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes, particularly in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery.

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 specialists who demand high-definition precision in their operative kits.

FAQ Section

Q: What is the main difference between a Size 15 and a Size 10 blade?

A: Both have curved bellies, but the Size 15 is much smaller and intended for finer, more delicate work on a #3 handle. The Size 10 is the larger, general-purpose version of the same shape.

Q: Which handles are compatible with Size 15 blades?

A: Size 15 blades use the small fitment standard. They are compatible with the #3, #3L, #7, and #9 handles. They are not compatible with the larger #4 handle fitment.

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 are they packed in foil instead of paper?

A: Foil peel packs provide a superior moisture barrier and physical protection, ensuring the blade remains sterile and the cutting edge remains protected until the moment of use.

Q: How should I dispose of used Size 15 blades?

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