The Slice Disposable Scalpel features the same non-sparking, non-magnetic ceramic safety blade as our other tools but with a lightweight, thin scalpel handle for maneuverability (handle is only 3 mm thick without its cap). The strong, slim glass-filled nylon handle of this sterile disposable scalpel fits into tight spaces and allows precise cuts. While our Finger-Friendly edge is not recommended for applications that truly require ultra-sharp blades (such as surgeries), it provides a safer option for laboratory, craft and manufacturing uses.
