SMI Surgical Blades are used during surgical procedures for cutting skin and tissues. They are made from carbon steel which provides an exact performance. These surgical blades lower drag and tissue trauma due to their special edge treatment. They also ensure consistent sharpness, and are sterile and available in a broad range of sizes.
