A simply safer way of removing blades. Remove, contain and dispose of blades without the unacceptable sharps injury rates of two-hand removal techniques involving fingers, forceps or re-sheathing.
Continue to use the best tool for your job
Most practitioners prefer the balance, weight and ergonomics of a reusable steel scalpel but removing used blades manually compromises staff safety. Flimsy disposable plastic scalpels are not the answer because they are harder to use, more dangerous and less cost-effective. The BladeFLASK simple 'push and click' blade removal solution for steel scalpels:
Remove and contain blades with one hand - push and click
BladeFLASK is secured by a reusable mounting bracket, which means you do not have to hold or brace the BladeFLASK when in use. The bracket enables the BladeFLASK to be positioned at point of use (wall, bench or trolley mounted), making single-hand blade removal, containment and disposal as simple as 'push and click'.
Minimise risks of injury and infection
Sharps injuries are a serious occupational hazard in healthcare settings. Scalpel cuts are not only more severe than needle stick injuries, they are also more likely to happen. The single-hand technique of removing blades minimizes your risk.
Make compliance a practical reality
BladeFLASK ensures optimal safety based on speed and convenience for the end-user, ergonomic simplicity and passive, automatic and single-handed safety principles. By enabling practitioners to continue to use their preferred metal scalpel handles, the wall-mounted or bench-mounted BladeFLASK improves both patient care and staff safety.
BladeFLASK meets these essential safety standards:
Sharps container
BladeFLASK is a puncture proof sharps container. When it is full, the BladeFLASK can be disposed safely without any further exposure to sharps contact. It conforms with the following regulatory requirements:
Auto shut-off
BladeFLASK has a built-in counter with a shut-off mechanism that activates automatically after 100 blades have been removed. There is no danger of overfilling.
Not just effective, it is cost effective
This essential safety solution ensures regulatory compliance, dramatically reduces injury costs, and is significantly cheaper than disposable plastic scalpels.
