Scalpel

Description

About Product
A scalpel is a surgical instrument used to make clean, precise incisions in skin and tissue. It consists of a handle and a very sharp blade that can be disposable or reusable depending on the type. Scalpels are fundamental tools in operating rooms, used by surgeons, dentists, and other medical professionals to perform a wide range of procedures that require accuracy and control. Their sharpness allows for minimal tissue damage and promotes better healing.
