Its wide belly makes it ideal for skin incisions, dissection, and procedures requiring a sweeping cut. It is also used in advanced craft and model-making applications requiring a broad, controlled cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the No.23 and No.22 Swann Morton blade?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are large curved blades, but the No.23 has a more pronounced curve and a broader belly than the No.22, making it better suited for deeper or wider incisions. The No.22 is slightly flatter and often preferred for more controlled surface cuts. Both fit the BM No.3 handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I reuse the No.23 blade, or is it single-use only?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwann Morton non-sterile blades are designed for single-use per procedure in clinical settings. The \u003cstrong\u003eBM handle\u003c\/strong\u003e is fully reusable and can be sterilised between uses by autoclave or hospital-grade disinfectant. Never reuse a blade that has been used on a patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the BM No.4 handle the right fit for the No.23 blade?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the No.23 blade is specifically designed to fit the No.3 handle. It uses the standard No.4 blade-seating groove and clicks securely into place on the BM handle. Always verify the blade is fully seated before use by checking there is no movement or play between blade and handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I safely remove a No.23 blade from the BM handle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNever remove a scalpel blade with your fingers. Use a dedicated blade remover tool or artery forceps to grip the blade at the spine (blunt back edge), flex it slightly upward, and slide it forward off the BM handle. Immediately place the used blade into an approved sharps disposal container.
