Troutman Chris blade breaker 10cm,

Clinical Application

Provides a controlled method for capturing and separating disposable scalpel blades from handles at the point of use. Commonly used in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinic procedure rooms to reduce direct handling of contaminated blades during procedures that require frequent blade changes (e.g., general surgery, dermatologic procedures, minor OR cases). The device minimizes the operator's exposure to sharps and facilitates safe downstream handling and disposal.

Design & Configuration

The compact 10 cm length allows close fingertip control while keeping the operator's hand clear of the sharp edge. A purpose-designed capture/breaking slot secures the blade and permits a controlled detachment motion, limiting blade movement and potential slippage. The handheld geometry supports one-handed use so the clinician can stabilize tissue or instruments with the other hand, improving workflow efficiency during multi-step procedures.
