Surgical
scalpel is a small, extremely sharp bladed tool, which is used for a
variety of purposes such as surgery and anatomical dissection.
Scalpels may be of two types, single-use or disposable scalpel and
reusable scalpel. Reusable scalpels have fixed blades that can be
sharpened or may have removable single-use blades that are attached
permanently. Disposable scalpels generally have a handle made of
plastic with an extensible blade and only once, after which the
entire instrument becomes redundant. Scalpel blades are generally
packed in sterile pouches.
Scalpel
blades are typically made of tempered and hardened steel, high carbon
steel, or stainless steel. Ceramic, diamond, titanium, and obsidian
knives are common. For instance, when a surgeon performs a surgery
under MRI guidance, steel blades are unsuitable, as the blades may
get attracted to the magnets and cause image artifacts.
Traditionally, the material of choice for surgical scalpels used to
be silver, because of its antimicrobial properties. Scalpel blades
are offered by few manufacturers with a zirconium nitride-coated edge
in order to improve sharpness and prolonged edge retention. Other
vendors’ blades are generally polymer-coated which enhances
lubricity during a cut. Some of the alternatives to scalpels in
surgical applications are electrocautery and lasers, among others.

High
growth in the number of surgeries and rise in geriatric population
will drive the overall surgical scalpel market

excision, lens and cataract, and hysterectomy. The increase in
geriatric population as well as the growth in the number of surgeries
will fuel the growth of the surgical scalpel market in the near
