Description
Magna® Surgical Scalpel, Size 12
The Magna® Surgical Scalpel, Size 12, is a precision cutting instrument designed for controlled soft-tissue incision and dissection in clinical and surgical environments. Size 12 refers to the characteristic hook-shaped blade profile commonly selected for tasks that benefit from a curved cutting edge and precise pull-cut technique. This scalpel is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals following established sterile technique and facility protocols.
Built for predictable handling, the Magna® Size 12 scalpel supports clean, accurate cuts where access, visibility, and edge control are critical. The blade geometry helps clinicians approach tissue along contours and in confined spaces, while the sharp edge supports efficient tissue separation with minimal applied force. Depending on the specific configuration supplied, the scalpel may be provided as a sterile, single-use disposable instrument or as a blade intended for mounting on a compatible scalpel handle.

Typical Clinical Applications
