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 are: 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25
