Landolt Scalpel Handle

Description

Landolt Scalpel Handle

The Landolt scalpel handle is a long handle that carries a scalpel blade into deep surgical fields. Surgeons use it when a standard handle cannot reach, for example in transsphenoidal surgery.

Why a long handle

A normal scalpel handle keeps the blade close to the fingers. In contrast, deep and narrow approaches need the blade far from the hand. So a long handle lets the surgeon make a precise incision at depth while keeping a clear view.

Lengths and versions

Our listing shows three versions across two lengths, 20 cm and 25 cm. Because the versions differ in details that matter for blade fit, please contact us before ordering. Then we can confirm which version matches your blades and your procedure.

Where it helps

Surgeons often need to open the sellar dura or a membrane far from the nostril. For instance, the Landolt scalpel handle lets them place a small blade at the target and cut under the microscope. Also, it can serve in other deep approaches.

Choosing a length

The 25 cm length gives maximum reach for transsphenoidal work. Meanwhile, the 20 cm length suits slightly shallower fields. Tell us how you plan to use it, and we will recommend a version.

Caring for your Landolt scalpel handle

Always remove the blade safely before cleaning. Then brush the blade fitting, where debris collects, and rinse the full length. Finally, dry the handle and sterilize it without a blade attached.
