Disposable Scalpel, pack of 10

Sterile Single-Use Blades for Clean Propagation Cuts, 10-Pack

A dull or contaminated blade tears cutting tissue instead of slicing it cleanly, which slows callusing and gives pathogens an easy entry point right at the wound. Each scalpel in this pack ships sterile and individually wrapped, so every cutting gets a fresh edge instead of a blade that's already dulled or picked up contamination from a prior cut.

The set includes 10 scalpels, enough for a full propagation session across multiple mother plants without reaching for the same blade twice, and each one comes with its own safety sheath to protect the edge and the handler between cuts.

Key Features & Benefits

• Sterile, individually wrapped — each of the 10 scalpels starts clean rather than shared or reused across cuts.
• Centimeter-marked handle — gives a visual reference for consistent cutting length.
• Included safety sheath — covers the blade between cuts to protect the edge and the handler.
• Disposable design — discard after use instead of sanitizing or sharpening a reusable blade.

Who Should Use These Scalpels

Growers and propagators taking cuttings for cloning who want a fresh, sterile blade for every cut rather than one blade reused across an entire mother plant or propagation run.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many scalpels come in a box?

Each box contains 10 individually wrapped scalpels. Opening one at a time keeps the rest sterile until you're ready to use them.

Are these scalpels sterile?

Yes, each one is sterile and individually wrapped until opened. That matters for propagation cuts, since a contaminated blade can introduce pathogens right at the wound site.

Is the handle marked for measuring?

Yes, the handle is marked in centimeter increments, which gives you a quick visual reference for cutting length. That's useful when you want consistent cutting lengths across a batch of clones.

Can these scalpels be reused?

No, they're built as a disposable, single-use tool rather than one meant for resharpening or sanitizing. Using a fresh blade for each cutting session is part of what keeps cuts clean.
