Fewer Sharps Injuries
Removing blades with fingers or ordinary forceps is where many cuts happen. The remover grips the blade securely and slides it off the handle in a controlled movement, so the blade can go straight into the sharps container.
Simple and Reusable
Made in Germany by Helmut Zepf from stainless steel, the blade remover is reprocessed with your other instruments and works with standard scalpel handles and blades.
