Description
B.P. (Bard-Parker) handles are surgical instruments that hold disposable scalpel blades. They offer stability and control during procedures. The main features are similar across most models. Specific numbers, like #3 and #4, show different sizes and blade compatibility.
General Features of B.P. Handles
- Durable Material: They are usually made of surgical-grade stainless steel for longevity, corrosion resistance, and repeated sterilization (autoclavable).
- Ergonomic Design: The design (often flat) allows for a comfortable and secure grip, enhancing control and reducing fatigue.
- Secure Blade Locking: A mechanism holds the scalpel blade firmly in place, preventing movement.
- Textured Grip: Most handles have ridges on the surface for a non-slip grip, ensuring safety and precision.
- Satin Finish: A non-reflective finish minimizes glare under bright surgical lights, improving visibility.
- Reusable: Handles are designed for long-term use after cleaning and sterilization.
- B.P. Handle No. 4:
- Design: Larger and often designed for more substantial work than the No. 3.
- Compatibility: It fits larger blades, typically in the #20 series, such as #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, and #25.
- Usage: It is used for general surgery and making larger, deeper incisions.
