OBSIDIAN SCALPEL MEDICAL SURGICAL SKIN

The term scalpel might also be used as a non steel cutting device as electrical scalpel or for just plain esoterica obsidian scalpel.

The handles and the blades come in various sizes and some handles are bent for convince. Normally now in surgery it is a disposable steel blade attached to a sterilizable handle. Different situations calls for different sharpness and depth of incision. If the surgeon has to be a little more delicate or has to make a curving incision with a narrow radius, then a blade that is narrower and has a smaller cutting surface (#15) is great.

If one needs to make a deep, long incision like a skin incision in an obese patient then a wide, positively curved scalpel (#22) works well. If the goal is to make a deep, but narrow “stab” incision in skin (for instance to insert a 5mm laparoscopic trocar through the abdominal wall) then a blade that is long, narrow and comes to a point (#11 blade) is perfect. You would use different instruments to cut different materials, right? A saw if you are cutting a piece of wood, a serrated knife to slice bread, and a carving knife to cut up turkey. There is a scalpel made for just about any of the hundreds of different situations that various types of surgeries present. There are many types of scalpel blades that vary in length, width, length of cutting surface and overall shape. These days more and more scalpels are made of plastic with a permanently mounted blade attached. Surgical sharpness is just sharp enough for surgery and sharp enough to cause no harm by being too blunt and cheap enough to be disposable. A scalpel is the classical name in English for pretty much anything makes an incision.
