Scalpel blade remover

A scalpel blade remover is a non-powered device designed to safely detach and contain used scalpel blades from reusable handles after a procedure. It is typically a sealed container with an internal mechanism that captures the blade when the scalpel is pushed into it, preventing needlestick injuries and ensuring safe disposal in clinical or laboratory environments.

This category consists of single-use devices that are not intended for reuse and are regulated as medical devices based on their design and intended use. They are supplied as sterile or non-sterile single-use units and are subject to general medical device regulations, with classification determined by jurisdiction-specific rules rather than a universal class assignment.
