Blades Are Sharps
Captions available
The idea
Scalpel blades are sharps: they are counted, passed with care, and disposed of in a sharps container.
In practice
Blades are part of the sharps count; safety-engineered options include shielded or retracting scalpels; used blades go into a puncture-resistant sharps container.
Where people slip
A blade is never left loose on the field or in the instrument tray after the case.
