Remove and contain blades with one hand - push and click
With the single-use BladeCASSETTE you can simply ‘push and click’ to change and contain
blades during procedures without risking the other hand. BladeCASSETTE stands and
grips firmly on the drapes, making single-hand removal of blades possible. The other
hand is out of harm’s way until the blade is safely contained in the remover.
Continue to use the best tool for your job
Most surgeons prefer the balance, weight and ergonomics of a reusable steel scalpel
but removing used blades manually compromises staff safety
Minimise risks of injury and infection
Sharps injuries are a serious occupational hazard in healthcare settings. Scalpel
cuts are not only more severe than needle stick injuries, they are also more likely
to happen. The single-hand technique of removing blades minimizes your risk.
Make compliance a practical reality
This essential safety solution makes compliance a practical reality and dramatically
reduces injury costs. Healthcare workers in the United States alone report between
600,000 and 1 million sharps injuries per year. Many more go unreported. Occupational
health and safety regulations worldwide are responding.
BladeCASSETTE ensures optimal safety based on speed and convenience for the end-user,
ergonomic simplicity and passive, automatic and single-handed safety principles.
Contain blades immediately after use
Contaminated scalpels lying around on the mayo increases the risk of exposure to
sharps injury and potential bloodborne pathogens.
The sterile BladeCASSETTE removes and contains contaminated blades for safe disposal
immediately after use, eliminating lurking sharps hazards.
Counting of blades
BladeCASSETTE has been specifically designed to include three transparent cartridges,
enabling easy and accurate counting of blades after use in theatre.
Satisfies these essential safety standards:
