What surgeons had to say:
“A comfortable, well-balanced and easy to hold blade holder, that has the obvious advantage of being able to retract into a safety covering so that the blade stick injuries would be limited. It can be passed between scrub nurses and the surgeon enclosed and then the blade advanced as necessary. It is useful to adjunct to theatre safety.”
Dr.Thomas Ford M.B.Ch.B (Pret) F.R.C.S (Edin), Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.
“After use safe retraction of the blade into a permanent locked position was a good feature. I would use and recommend the product.”
Warren Vickers MB.BCh (Wits), FCS (SA) Urol-Urologist
“Using the handle will definitely reduce the incidence of injuries when handling the blade between scrub-nurses and the surgeon and the blade can then easily be disposed off while still protected in the handle. Feedback from the scrub nurses was also very positive as they are at great risk when taking the blade back from the surgeon and removing it from a non-disposable handle. If the handle is available in theatre, I will definitely use it in preference to the standard non-disposable, metal handles.”
Dr.Stewart Metcalfe MBBCh (Wits), FCS (SA)-Specialist General Surgeon.
“I have used the above scalpel performing plastic surgical procedures and have found it to be light, well-balanced, with an excellent grip. It is easily maneuverable, and has outstanding feature of being retractable for safety. I would not hesitate to use this in my future plastic surgical procedures as a routine,”
Dr SA Braun M.B.Ch. (Rand), F.R.C.S. (Edin.)-Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon
“I found it easy to use and very stable! It has great safety features.”
