Scalpel Handle grooved type #3

Clinical Application

This grooved type #3 scalpel handle is designed to accept standard detachable surgical blades for controlled, precise soft-tissue incisions. It is commonly used across general surgery, ENT, plastic and reconstructive procedures, and minor operative cases where fine tip control and rapid blade exchange are required. The handle supports common blade profiles used for cutting, stab incisions, and fine dissection.

Design & Configuration

The grooved mounting on the blade seating surface provides a stable engagement for a disposable blade tang, minimizing lateral play and improving blade security under torque. The #3 pattern features a tapered neck that enhances line-of-sight to the incision and facilitates delicate point control at the tip. Textured grip geometry and balanced weight distribution improve tactile feedback and single-handed blade removal/attachment during procedures.
