Scalpel
Product Code : SCL-CL-11923
Scalpel (SKU SCL-CL-11923) is a 14 cm metal-handled cutting instrument for small, controlled incisions in dissection and specimen preparation. Its reusable handle takes detachable single-use blades, so a fresh edge can be fitted when one dulls. Biology teachers, B.Sc. zoology and botany labs and anatomy teaching rooms use it for practical work. Science Lab Supplies supplies the scalpel from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The scalpel is a slim, 14 cm instrument with a reusable metal handle designed to hold detachable, single-use blades securely. It is made for precise, controlled cuts rather than force, which makes it suitable for opening specimens, cutting thin plant sections and trimming tissues for study.

Applications and Experiments for the Scalpel
In teaching labs the scalpel is used for dissection and section cutting, where clean, controlled cuts matter more than force. Students use it to open preserved specimens, cut transverse sections of stems and roots and trim small tissue samples before mounting them on slides.
- Class 11–12 biology: dissecting flowers and cutting transverse sections of stems and leaves.
- B.Sc. zoology practicals: opening preserved specimens to study internal organs.
- B.Sc. botany practicals: preparing thin sections for staining and microscopy.
- Anatomy teaching labs: trimming tissues during demonstration dissections.
Scalpel blades are very sharp. Fit and remove blades with forceps rather than fingers, dispose of used blades in a sharps container, and let students use the instrument only under teacher supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Scalpel is supplied as described above, a 14 cm reusable metal handle for detachable blades; whether blades are included, and in what number, is confirmed on the quotation together with any optional accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the scalpel use replaceable blades?
Yes. The reusable metal handle is designed to hold detachable single-use blades, so a blunt blade can be replaced while the handle is kept.
How long is the scalpel?
The instrument is 14 cm long, which gives a comfortable grip for controlled cutting during dissection.
Who supplies the Scalpel?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges and tender contractors, and can quote it together with forceps and needles as a dissection set.
Is the scalpel safe for students?
It is a sharp cutting tool, so it should be used only under supervision, with blades changed using forceps and discarded in a sharps container.
