Product Overview
The Bard-Parker name has been synonymous with surgical-quality scalpels for generations, and Aspen Surgical's Safety Scalpel line applies that same precision to a design engineered around the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. The #10 blade — a broad, curved edge ideal for incisions requiring a large, smooth cut — is the standard choice for cricothyrotomy, field chest procedures, wound debridement, and general tissue separation in prehospital and austere environments.
What sets the Bard-Parker Safety Scalpel apart is the pierce-resistant protective cover that remains on the blade from the moment of assembly through final disposal. Traditional scalpels require the user to manually slide a separate guard over an exposed blade — a manipulation responsible for a disproportionate number of sharps injuries in emergency and surgical settings. Aspen's integrated cover eliminates that step entirely, supporting one-handed activation for both left- and right-handed providers without any exposed blade handling.
For tactical medical professionals, the Bard-Parker Safety Scalpel #10 is a core instrument in field surgical airway kits and minor surgery sets. Its sterile, single-use design requires no sterilization planning and eliminates cross-contamination risk. When the scalpel appears in MED-TAC's Basic Field Surgical Airway Kit, its reliable performance in tissue separation is critical to the success of a surgical cricothyrotomy under pressure.
Blade #10: Clinical Applications
- Surgical cricothyrotomy — standard incision blade for emergency surgical airway
