These handles are suited for such disciplines as reconstruction, ophthalmic, cardiology and even hair restoration the surgeons may sometimes prefer our Fine Range.

The "single use" sterile Swann-Morton Blade Remover or the "multi use" non sterile BRU Blade Remover unit allows for safe and easy removal of all sizes of scalpel blade from both No.3 and No.4 handles.

Cygnetic®:
For use within rigorous Orthopaedic and General surgical procedures 'Cygnetic' ® provides the surgeon with additional strength and stability through the patented combination of its specially designed blade and handle.Its functionality will assist the nurse with safe and easy blade attachment and removal whilst the simple disassembly for cleaning will be welcomed by the decontamination department.Initially the range will include four instantly recognizable stainless steel blade shapes the CYG 10, CYG 11, CYG 15 and the CYG 20 available in boxes of 50, sterile and individually wrapped in foil packets which can be used in conjunction with the unique Cygnetic ® Stainless Steel handle.

Specialist:
The sterile stainless Cervical Biposy blade is used in conjunction with our Long Stainless Steel Major Handle to take a "cone" biopsy of the tissue in a woman's cervix. The sterile stainless Myringotomy blade is used in conjunction with the SF1 or SF13 Fine surgical handle in the treatment of "Otitis media" or "Glue ear". The Myringotomy is double edged so allowing for cutting movements in both directions

Disposable Scalpels:
Standard, Guarded and Sabre Disposable Sterile Scalpels offer convenience in a number of user environments be it on the ward, in emergency or trauma units or even out in the field with the Paramedics. The Guarded Scalpel along with the minor "thumb" scalpels are also available in bulk, non sterile and form an integral part of many customised procedure trays, packs and kits.

Skin Grafts:
The Skin Graft range is used in the surgical removal of a patch of healthy skin from one area of the patients body which is then transplanted to another area where there has been extensive tissue loss. Skin grafts may be recommended for Burns, specific surgeries that may require skin grafts for healing to occur and for areas of prior infection with extensive skin loss. They may also be used for cosmetic reasons on reconstructive surgeries (See Dermatome). Still under development the range currently consists of the popular Stainless Steel sterile 158 mm Skin Graft Blade which fits our Braithwaite, Cobbett and Watson Skin Graft Handles.

Post Mortem:
The PM40 range with it's traditional "Screw Fitting" heavy duty Stainless Steel handle and the PM60 range with a standard blade fitment both include bull nose blades for added safety and protection against accidental sharps injuries. A versatile and comprehensive range for Morticians and Pathologists for use in Autopsy, Histopathology and general Post Mortem procedures.

Stitch Cutters:
Designed with a rounded bull nose tip the Swann-Morton family of Stitch Cutter's are ideal for the purpose of cutting modern suture materials whilst minimising patient discomfort.The range consists of the shorter standard stitch cutter with a larger area for grip through the " Midi " to the "Long" allowing for a more aseptic technique by operating further away from the wound site yet also allowing better visibility.This is particularly true of the No.3 fitment or " Baby" Stitch Cutter when used in conjunction with a No.3 Surgical handle.
