A blade’s material, finish and edge radius, blade design plays an important role in the cutting performance of a surgical blade. There are variations in the design of the side bevels between dull sharpened and tapered. Each blade design comes in several widths to size incisions based on the instruments used in the operation. In addition to the arrangement of cutting edges, the design of the bevels can vary from blade to blade and helps determine the behavior during cutting and the subsequent healing of the wound.

Some of the Most Common Blades are Described Below:
The number 10 blade has a large curved cutting edge is one of the more traditional blade shapes and is used for making large incisions and cutting soft tissue.
The number 11 blade is an elongated, triangular blade sharpened along the hypotenuse edge. It has a pointed tip making it ideal for stab incisions and precise short cuts in shallow recessed areas.
The number 12 blade is a small, pointed crescent-shaped blade sharpened along the inside edge of the curve. It sometimes used as a suture cutter.
The number 15 blade has a small, curved cutting edge ideal for making short, precise incisions.
The number 22 blade is a larger version of the number 10 blade with a curved cutting edge and a flat, unsharpened back edge. It is often used for creating large incisions through thick skin.
The most common type of scalpel blade used in surgery is the non-attached, replaceable blade. This type of blade has a key-like slot at the angled base that securely locks the scalpel blade to the scalpel handle.

Increase in the Number of Surgical Procedures
The rise of the surgical procedures have also increased the use of surgical equipment to perform the surgery. Factors such as rising work pressure, stress, improper eating habits, heredity, and exposure to chemicals among others, causes chronic diseases. Surgical scalpel procedures have been opted by men on a large scale in the past few years. Since men are more prone to baldness, they hold maximum share as the users of surgical scalpel procedures. According to American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the rise in several cosmetic surgeries have become one of the major factors for the market growth.

Surgical blade is a sharp, small and bladed instrument used for cutting skin and tissue at the time of surgery. Surgical scalpel can be one time usable or reusable. One-time usable scalpels called as disposable scalpel generally come with a plastic handle attached to a surgical blade. Surgical blades are generally made from stainless steel or carbon steel. There are several types of blades depending upon the type of surgical procedures. Surgical blades are generally available in sterile and non-sterile form of packaging. Majorly, disposable scalpels are widely used as they help to prevent the cross contamination at the time of surgery. Reusable scalpels usually come with permanently attached blades.
