Problem

According to most surgeons, the retractable shields and other safety mechanisms interfere with their view of the blade and make the devices a bad choice for a deep incision.

Solution

The SAFhandle^TM disposable safety scalpels are fitted with the SAFhandle^TM round tip safety blades to provide protection when scalpels are in use. The elimination of shields and buttons enables the SAFhandle^TM disposable safety scalpel to be used where these mechanisms would obstruct the use of the scalpel.
