Scalpel Handle #3XL 35cm

Clinical Application

Provides a secure handpiece for making controlled skin and soft-tissue incisions using standard #3 pattern blades. The extended 35 cm length is intended for situations that require greater reach or improved hand clearance—for example, operating across deep cavities, around retractor fields, in long or narrow operative corridors, or when an assistant needs to pass the instrument over an operative field without obstructing the surgeon’s line of sight. Useful in general, vascular, thoracic, colorectal and other procedures where precision cutting at a distance is required.

Design & Configuration

The elongated straight shaft increases working reach while maintaining the familiar ergonomics of the #3 handle. This geometry improves access to deep or difficult-to-reach sites and helps keep the surgeon’s hand away from the sterile field and retractor lines. The head is configured to accept standard #3 blades with a secure seating interface, allowing rapid blade changes and predictable blade alignment for precise incisions. The balance of the longer handle is optimized to preserve tactile feedback and cutting control despite the increased length.
