Troutmann-Chris Blade Holder angled 10cm,

Clinical Application

This angled blade holder is designed to secure a disposable scalpel blade for controlled incisions where an oblique approach or limited exposure is required. It facilitates precise cutting in confined or shallow operative fields, commonly encountered in plastic and reconstructive procedures, ENT and head & neck work, hand surgery, and other soft-tissue dissections that demand fine tip control and predictable blade alignment.

Design & Configuration

The angled head geometry provides an improved line of sight and access when a straight axis is impractical. The 10 cm overall length balances reach with tactile feedback, allowing the surgeon to position the blade at an oblique angle to the tissue while maintaining wrist ergonomics. The holder’s jaw region secures the blade at a fixed offset from the instrument shaft to reduce hand obstruction and to permit precise point and sweeping incisions in tight or angled approaches.
