Vetagro Scalpel Blade Holder

A scalpel is a bladed surgical instrument used to make cuts into the body. This is a very sharp instrument and comes in various sizes for different types of cuts and surgeries. Most blades are made of either carbon or stainless (medical grade) steel. The number on a scalpel is an indication of its size and shape. In simple words, it is a shorthand code to label the characteristics of a blade. The numbering system dates back to 1915 when Morgan Parker and Charles Russell Brand patented the two-piece design of handle and blade.
