SIZE: 10Size 10 with a curved cutting edge is one of the more traditional blade shapes and is used generally for making varying sizes of incisions in skin and muscle. The No.10 is often utilized in more specialized surgeries, such as for harvesting the radial artery during a coronary artery bypass operation, opening the bronchus during thoracic surgery, uterine incisions for a C-Section, and for inguinal hernia repair. | SIZE: 11The size 11 blade is an elongated triangular blade. It has a strong pointed tip, making it ideal for stab incisions needed when lancing an abscess or inserting a chest drain. Surgical blades size 11 are also used for making other small incisions. Examples include when inserting a laparoscopic port, vein, and artery central lines, opening the aorta and removing calcification in the aortic or mitral valves, anatomical dissections, and surgical treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower extremities in Podiatry. | SIZE: 12size 12 – small, pointed, crescent-shaped blade sharpened along the inside edge of the curve. It is used for arteriotomies (surgical incision of an artery), parotid surgeries (facial salivary glands), mucosal cuts on a septoplasty (repair of the nasal septum), and during cleft palate procedures. Additionally, surgeons use it for ureterolithotomies (calculus removal by incision of the ureter) and pyelolithotomies (surgical incision of the renal pelvis of a kidney for the removal of a kidney stone – also known as a pelviolithotomy ). They are also used within Dental surgery for raising skin flaps and for removing excess polymerised composite resin on the facial and interproximal region of the tooth during restoration procedures. And finally, sometimes it’s even used as a stitch cutter. | SIZE: 15The No.15 blade has a small curved cutting edge and is the most popular blade shape for making short and precise incisions. It is utilized in a variety of surgical procedures, including the excision of a skin lesion or recurrent sebaceous cyst, opening coronary arteries, MOHS procedures, and numerous periodontal surgeries. |

How is a scalpel used?
The scalpel, as said before, is used in making the incisions, one of the first and essential instruments used in the operating theater. It can be held in different ways based on the type of incision needed.
- Palmar Grip – Here it is held between the thumb and the middle, ring, and 5th fingers with the index finger over the upper border of the handle. The handle lies clutched in the palm. This grip is used while making incisions on tough tissues. A Periosteal Elevator is also held in a similar manner. The movement in this position arises from the shoulder.
- Pencil Grip – Here it is held as a pencil, which is used in making small, precision cuts where the handle lies over the palm. In this position, movement is given from the fingers to make fine cuts.
- Finger-Tip Grip – A modification of Palmar grip where the scalpel is held with the fingertips, and the handle lies under the palm. Here, the length of the blade lies in contact with the skin, hence used in making long incisions, usually on the skin.
- Stab Grip – A modification of the pencil grip where the scalpel is held at a 90 ° angle to the skin surface. This position helps in allowing maximum control over penetration into the surface. It is used while making ports for laparoscopic surgeries.
