Scalpel Blade Removers: Single-Handed OSHA-Compliant Blade Removers & Sharps Capture
This set is meant for operating rooms, procedure rooms, trauma bays, and surgery centers that must dispose scalpel blades without contact and maintain used blades locked in place at a given time. Single-handed scalpel blade remover instruments are an engineering control to assist with sharps injury reduction and OSHA bloodborne pathogen requirement compliance: rather than hand-twisting a soiled blade off the handle, the practitioner places the scalpel in the remover, clicks, and the blade is pushed out, contained, and locked in puncture-resistant housing.
Where it's used;
- OR / surgery (general, ortho, plastics)
- ER and urgent care procedure rooms
- Outpatient clinics performing laceration repair or small excisions
- Residency and educational settings where sharps safety with standards are required
Product Types and Contents in this Category
- Single-Handed Scalpel Blade Removers: High-volume units (often 80–100 blades) placed near point of use. Grab and catch blades in one step and usually close up to become a dedicated sharps container when full. Long-tail search intent: "OSHA-compliant scalpel blade remover," "single-handed scalpel blade removal system."
- Sterile Blade Removal Cassettes: Small sterile cassette packs for the Mayo stand / back table. They provide "hands-free blade removal in the sterile field," then the cassette is discarded as regulated sharps. Long-tail examples: "sterile scalpel blade removal cassette," "scalpel blade remover for Mayo stand."
- Sharps Capture & Mounting Brackets: Wall / cart / mayo stand brackets & puncture-proof sharps containers in the cut area so no one will be wandering around with an open blade. Long-tail: "puncture-proof sharps container with bracket," "OR sharps container mount."
Why are this Category and its Products Important?
- Reduces risk of scalpel-stick injuries to surgeons, techs, nurses, and sterile processing staff.
- Standardizes removal and disposal by room, which assists compliance audits.
- Saves time at turnover: used blades are already locked inside a sharps-safe unit, not sitting loose on a tray.
Browse by procedure need (removal station vs sterile cassette vs bracketed sharps capture), choose capacity and mount style, and you’re OSHA-ready without improvising.
