46.007.18 ZEPF Drop-Control Scalpel Blade Holder

The ZEPF Drop-Control® Scalpel Blade Holder is an advanced surgical instrument engineered to enhance safety and efficiency during blade changes in daily clinical practice. With a patented one-hand ejection mechanism and a Ø 12 mm handle diameter, this instrument sets a new standard in controlled blade management.

Patented Drop-Control® Mechanism

The Drop-Control® Scalpel Blade Holder features a precision-engineered slider that, when pressed, activates a mechanism lifting and advancing the blade along its actuation path before safely ejecting it directly into a sharps collection container. Once the blade is ejected, the mechanism automatically resets to its initial position, ready for the next blade change. This entire process requires no additional instrument, streamlining the workflow during surgical procedures.

Key Advantages

• No additional instruments required: The one-hand ejection function eliminates the need for a secondary tool to remove the blade.
