Scalpel Handles And Blades
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a scalpel handle and a scalpel blade?
The handle is the reusable holder, and the blade is the cutting edge that fits onto it. Handles are numbered, and each number fits a specific range of blade sizes.
How do I match a scalpel blade to its handle?
Check the handle number against the blade's fitting size before ordering — for example, the common No. 3 handle fits one blade range, while larger handles fit larger blades. Ordering matched pairs avoids a blade that will not fit.
Are scalpel blades sold individually or in packs?
Both. Single blades suit occasional use, while packs suit practices and training programs that go through blades regularly.
Does DDP Instruments ship scalpel handles and blades from the USA?
Yes. Orders are dispatched same-day from our Miami, FL warehouse. Shipping is free across the USA, and all other countries pay a flat $45.
