Continue to use the best tool for your job.

Most practitioners prefer the balance, weight and ergonomics of a reusable steel scalpel but removing used blades manually compromises staff safety..

Flimsy disposable plastic scalpels are not the answer because they are harder to use, more dangerous and less cost-effective.. hmtoggle_plus1details

 

The Blade FLASK simple 'push and click' blade removal solution for steel scalpels:

 

Ÿ IMPROVES PATIENT SAFETY by enabling practitioners to use ergonomic precision steel scalpels

Ÿ IMPROVES STAFF SAFETY by ensuring the used scalpel blade is removed with safe single handed technique and then safely contained until final disposal.

Remove and contain blades with one hand - push and click.

BladeFLASK is secured by a reusable mounting bracket, which means you do not have to hold or brace the BladeFLASK when in use.. hmtoggle_plus1details

 

BladeFLASK is secured by a reusable mounting bracket, which means you do not have to hold or brace the BladeFLASK when in use.

 

The bracket enables the Blade FLASK to be positioned at point of use (wall, bench or trolley mounted), making single-hand blade removal, containment and disposal as simple as ‘push and click’.

Minimise risks of injury and infection.

Sharps injuries are a serious occupational hazard in healthcare settings. Scalpel cuts are not only more severe than needle stick injuries, they are also more likely to happen. The single-hand technique of removing blades minimizes your risk.

 

These alarmingly common scalpel injuries cause pain, emotional distress, potentially fatal infections, and damage to digital nerves, arteries or tendons requiring microsurgery and extensive rehabilitation. BladeFLASK dramatically reduces the risk of scalpel blade injuries in the workplace.

8-11% of sharps injuries are caused by scalpel blades. 1,2 hmtoggle_plus1graph
