BD 371310 - Bard Parker Surgical Blades No. 10, Non-Sterile, 150/BX
The BD 371310 Bard Parker No. 10 Surgical Blades are precision-manufactured, non-sterile blades designed for clean, controlled incisions in a wide range of surgical procedures. Known for their curved cutting edge and robust profile, No. 10 blades are a standard choice for making large skin incisions and initial surgical openings. Manufactured to BDs exacting quality standards, these blades deliver consistent sharpness, reliable performance, and dependable compatibility with Bard Parker scalpel handles.
Key Benefits
The curved cutting edge of the No. 10 blade allows smooth, controlled slicing, making it ideal for skin and soft tissue incisions. High-quality stainless steel construction ensures excellent sharpness retention and cutting precision. The non-sterile format supports facilities that perform in-house sterilization or use blades for training and non-sterile applications. Consistent blade geometry promotes predictable handling and surgical confidence.
Compatibility and Applications
These blades are compatible with Bard Parker scalpel handles designed for No. 10 blades, commonly including handle sizes used in general and specialty surgery. Typical applications include general surgery, orthopedic procedures, trauma care, dermatologic surgery, and surgical training environments. They are widely used in hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, teaching institutions, and skills labs.
Usage Guidelines
Using appropriate personal protective equipment, attach the blade securely to a compatible Bard Parker handle before use. Confirm proper seating and alignment to ensure safe handling. After use, remove the blade with an approved blade removal technique and dispose of it immediately in an approved sharps container. If sterilization is required, follow validated facility protocols prior to clinical use.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The BD 371310 blades are manufactured under BDs quality management systems and meet applicable standards for surgical cutting instruments. The stainless steel material is selected for strength, corrosion resistance, and consistent cutting performance. Non-sterile designation supports controlled reprocessing where permitted by facility policy.
