SAFhandle™ Safety Scalpel Blades

All scalpel injuries, regardless of how they take place, occur due to a sharp tip scalpel blade and consequently are more likely than needles to cause deep or otherwise severe injuries due to their sharp tips. Most of the safety scalpels currently available on the market cannot prevent injuries during use or when exposed because they are loaded with a sharp tipped blade. Round tip scalpel blades are therefore recommended as a solution for reducing percutaneous injuries by the CDC, AORN and EPINet. Sentra Medical has two innovative and high quality stainless steel blades to combat this issue.

The SAFhandle™ round tip safety scalpel blade has an innovative round tip to prevent scalpel injuries when the scalpel is in use or exposed. The blades fit on to all current metal scalpel handles on the market, and offers unrivalled safety when used in conjunction with our own range of safety disposable scalpels and safety reusable scalpels.

Diamantine™ SAFhandle™ high performance safety blades are an advanced manufactured to precise angles; the cutting edge is coated with a diamond like material which is biocompatible and highly corrosion resistant, using an environmentally friendly process. This specification enhances initial sharpness, strength and sharpness retention. Laboratory testing shows significant performance improvements over the best conventional scalpel blades.

All types of SAFhandle™ Scalpel Blades, both Safety and Conventional, are compatible for use with every scalpel handle on the market. They should therefore be used in the same way as any other scalpel blade, with the user ensuring all local trust policies are adhered to in the process.
