Surgical Scalpel Blades #22

The No.22 surgical scalpel blade has a broad, curved cutting edge and a flat, blunt back, resembling the No.10 and No.21 blades but with a wider and longer shape. It's specifically designed for making long, sweeping incisions, offering improved visibility and access to deeper tissue layers. This blade is often used for skin incisions in cardiac and thoracic surgeries and is ideal for cutting through structures like the bronchus during lung resections. Its shape and size allow for precise control when cutting both surface and deeper tissues. Beyond surgical use, the No.22 blade is also widely used in labs and pathology for detailed dissection and tissue sectioning during analysis.
