MEDI-SAFE SURGICALS SAFETY SCALPELS

The MS™ Safety Scalpel

Top Activated, Retractable, Single Use

Traditional surgical scalpels have changed very little over the past century. Attaching or removing a scalpel blade is a cumbersome process, often resulting in injury. While this presents an obvious risk to healthcare workers, there is an equal, less obvious risk to patients if a surgeon or assistant is accidentally cut during a procedure.

Other causes of injury might be

  • A lapse of concentration while passing a used scalpel with exposed blade between medical personnel, during a procedure
  • Protruding scalpel blades from sharps bins
  • Misplaced or dropped scalpel blades.

At Medi Safe, we are well aware of the resulting impact of injury on productivity, ensuing family or social issues, stress on healthcare workers and the cost of potential treatment following a disease transmitted through a sharps injury.

Why take the risk of touching a used surgical blade when you can use a disposable safety scalpel that is sterile, ready for immediate use and can be easily and safely disposed of? The MS™ Safety Scalpel is designed to reduce the risks inherent to surgical procedures with traditional scalpels.

So why an MS™ Safety Scalpel?

Because 15% of American scalpel users can’t be wrong!

The MS™ Safety Scalpel is not only accepted by surgeons around the world, it has also become the safety scalpel of choice for kitpackers the world over

The benefits of the MS™ Safety Scalpel speak for themselves.

  • No passing of scalpel with exposed blade
  • No attaching or removing of blade from scalpel handle
  • Peace of mind – no compromise of your professional skills and technique
