Buy a scalpel from your expert for professional podiatry needs

Whether for removing calluses, combating corns or for filing away calluses: A scalpel is an indispensable tool in any competent podiatry practice. It is therefore all the more important to use only highly functional scalpels that offer both you and your patients maximum efficiency and safety. You can always determine the quality of the scalpel blades from HELLMUT RUCK GmbH.

The scalpel technique as the preferred medical foot care method

Even if it is basically possible to use a callus plane as an instrument for filing away calluses, calluses, etc., qualified podiatrists tend to use a scalpel. The reason for this is that it is possible to work much more precisely and over a larger area with a scalpel. In addition, the scalpel is easier to handle and as a result is better to control.

In order to make the treatment as comfortable and safe as possible for your patients, it is important to familiarise yourself with the scalpel technique in advance.

What characteristics make a good scalpel blade?

Using an inferior scalpel is a risk factor for your patients. You can always determine which one is reliable from a medical point of view when it comes to comfort of use.

When choosing a scalpel, take a close look at the quality, texture and type of the scalpel holder.

Scalpel holders for various blade shapes

Scalpel holders can be of different lengths and are suitable for different scalpel blades.

As an example: The scalpel holder no. 3 from in-house RUCK is conjured up for the scalpel blade figures or types in the number range between 10 and 15.

Surgeon-quality scalpel blades

If you can determine to buy a scalpel, you should always choose the blade according to the intended use. As an example: typical of category 10 scalpel blades are their bulbous type and high filing efficiency. 15 blades, on the other hand, are very small and as a result highly suitable for work between the toes. All blades in the figure range between 10 and 15 are suitable for the scalpel holder no. 3 from Ruck Instrumente.

Furthermore, it is immensely important for a scalpel head that it is a certified medical product. If you would like to buy a scalpel, you should also ensure that there is always an adequate supply of scalpel blades.

Good to know: This is how you dispose of scalpel blades accurately then

A scalpel blade is a disposable product that is not intended for multiple use. This is where the disinfectable and sterilisable Skalpell-Ex blade remover or the blade pick-up box from HELLMUT RUCK GmbH is best used. These products ensure that the blades can be changed without large risk of injury along with being quick and uncomplicated.

After you have replaced the old blade with a new one, the first one must be disposed of in the way provided instead. This is by no means simply done with the normal practice waste. Rather, special containers or boxes are used for this purpose, which are puncture-proof on the one hand and furnished with a lid on the other. As soon as they reach total capacity, they can be placed in the rubbish when closed.
