The Elite First Aid Scalpel Handle #3 case of 50 (SKU 808881) is designed for high-volume users who need to stock multiple trauma kits, clinics, or tactical field operations. Each handle is individually sterile-packed, so you can distribute them across different kits without compromising sterility. This bulk packaging is ideal for EMS agencies, military medics, wilderness medicine programs, or preparedness planners who need to outfit multiple response teams or locations. At $65.00 for 50 units, you're getting professional-grade stainless steel handles at approximately $1.30 per unit—far more cost-effective than buying singles.

The Scalpel Handle #3 is compatible with standard surgical blades #10 through #15. Blade #10 is most common for making large incisions, #11 for precision stab incisions and drainage procedures, #12 for suture removal, #15 for small curved incisions in tight spaces, and #13 for dental or oral surgery. This versatility makes the Handle #3 the most widely used scalpel handle in emergency medicine and field surgery. You'll need to purchase blades separately—the handle alone doesn't cut, but its precision-machined grip ensures secure blade attachment during critical procedures.

Yes, the Elite First Aid Scalpel Handle #3 is made from high-quality stainless steel specifically engineered for long-lasting durability and repeated use. After use, you can clean and re-sterilize these handles using autoclave, chemical sterilization, or other approved medical sterilization methods. However, each handle comes individually sterile-packed for immediate use—once you open the package, you'll need to re-sterilize it before the next use. This makes them perfect for both single-use field scenarios and clinical settings where proper sterilization equipment is available.

Unlike disposable scalpel systems with pre-attached blades, the Elite First Aid Scalpel Handle #3 offers tactical flexibility. You can carry one handle and multiple blade types (#10–#15) to adapt to different field surgical needs—cricothyrotomy, wound debridement, or emergency incisions—without carrying multiple complete scalpels. The stainless steel construction won't crack or fail under extreme temperatures or rough handling in tactical environments. While disposables are convenient, the Handle #3 gives you professional surgical precision, reusability, and the ability to choose the exact blade geometry for each procedure.
