Swann-Morton Blade Remover Units (5525) - Box10

Box (10). In addition to the traditional Swann-Morton single-use blade remover, we have recently introduced a blade remover unit (BRU) which will hold up to 100 blades and is ideal for use within the GP practice, for a Chiropodist both in their surgery and whilst making domiciliary visits and for Vets whilst out in the field combining simplicity of operation with safety during use.  It can suit those less confident blade users and especially those working in areas where a sharps disposal facility is not immediately available. Trying to extend the life of this device by trying to remove the contaminated blades from them is strongly discouraged as they are designed as a device solely for the removal of blades and not for long term sharps storage.

Swann-Morton Disposable Sterile Scalpels No.14 (0519) -Box10

Box (10). Stainless Steel, Individually Wrapped The No.14 can be used in Aesthetic procedures such as "Dermaplaning" which helps to "refinish" the skin's top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping which exfoliates the epidermis . It is complemented by the smaller more rounded 10R "butter blades" . Dermaplaning can be performed on small areas of skin or on the entire face and can be used alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as a chemical peel, microdermabrasion, or fluorescent pulsed light (FPL). Dermaplaning, when performed prior to other treatments, can remove the "peach fuzz" which can trap excess dirt and oil.  It is non-invasive and helps make other skin treatments more effective.
