Individually foil wrapped stainless steel gamma sterilized. Blades are
packed 100 in a box, and cases contain 10 boxes. The difference between
the composition of carbon steel and stainless steel is that carbon steel
is an alloy of about 99.5% iron, 5% carbon - so almost pure iron, but
stainless steel is about 2 parts iron for 1 part chromium. Carbon steel
is generally harder and stronger but less corrosion-resistant. These
blades are produced utilizing a fully automated production technique.
The computerized technology and quality control system assures uniform
cutting edges and a perfect fit on scalpel handles. Individually wrapped
in foil and hermetically sealed. ($144.00/case sold separately. See
Surgical Index.)
This size fits #4 handle. Other sizes to fit #4 handle: 20, 21, 23, 24 and 25
