During surgical operations, surgical blades, often known as scalpels, are used to cut skin and tissue. Depending on the technique, numerous types of blades are available. The size and form of surgical blades vary. The size and form of the blade are indicated by the blade's number. Stainless steel or carbon steel are frequently used in the production of surgical blades. Surgical blades are available in a range of shapes, allowing surgeons and medical professionals to choose the best blade for the job. Surgical blades and blade handles are often offered separately. Disposable scalpels with surgical blades are available (sterile and non-sterile). Single-use scalpels known as disposable scalpels frequently include a plastic handle attached to a surgical blade.

The demand is being driven by the availability of these blades in various sizes and forms that are specific to an operation. Because surgical blades come in a range of sizes and shapes, surgeons and other medical professionals may select the ideal blade for a certain surgery. Physicians all around the world are using stainless steel blades more and more. Added features such as numbered scalpel handles, acute sharp cutting edges for clean cuts, and high-quality cutting are becoming more and more popular among surgeons.

For example, every surgical blade has a unique number that serves as a shorthand identifier for describing its size and form. The origin of the numbering system may be traced back to Morgan Parker, who gave the surgical blades a number between 10 and 20 and numbered the handles from 1 to 9. The medical community began to adopt the approach generally. The optimum surgical blade handle for the treatment is chosen by the surgeon. To give the surgeon the best precision, balance, and visibility, surgical blade handles vary in size, weight, and length.
