BD 4403A - Sensiclip Surgical Clipper Blade for Clipper 4413A, Sterile, 20/cs
The BD 4403A Sensiclip Surgical Clipper Blade is a single-use hair removal blade designed to support safe, efficient preoperative skin preparation. Manufactured by Becton, Dickinson and Company, the Sensiclip blade is engineered to remove hair close to the skin surface while minimizing the risk of cuts, abrasions, and skin irritation commonly associated with razors.
Designed for use with compatible BD Sensiclip surgical clippers, this disposable blade supports standardized preoperative workflows and helps reduce the risk of surgical site contamination linked to improper hair removal.
Key Benefits
The Sensiclip blade is designed to clip hair efficiently without contacting the skin directly, helping reduce micro-abrasions and associated infection risk. Disposable, single-use construction eliminates the need for cleaning or reprocessing and supports infection control protocols.
Consistent cutting performance supports faster preparation times and improved patient comfort. The blade design promotes smooth operation across different hair types and anatomical areas.
