Bard-Parker Surgical Blades & Handles by Parker

The Parker collection brings together Bard-Parker surgical blades and handles from Aspen Surgical — a name that has defined precision cutting instruments in operating rooms for generations. For surgical teams, sterile processing staff, and procurement managers, these are the workhorses of the sterile field: consistent edge geometry, reliable sterility, and the fit specifications clinicians already know by number.

Blade selection here comes down to the cut you need. The No. 10 blade, with its curved cutting edge, remains the standard for large skin incisions and general dissection, available in both carbon steel (371110) for maximum sharpness and stainless steel (371210) for corrosion resistance. The No. 11 blade (371211) offers a straight, sharp-pointed edge built for stab incisions, drainage, and precise puncture work. Each is sterile, single-use, and surgical grade — supporting infection-control protocols without the reprocessing burden of reusable edges.

Matching the right handle matters as much as the blade. The Size 3 Safety Blade Handle (374030) is reusable metal designed to reduce sharps-injury risk during blade loading and removal. When a disposable, single-procedure option is preferred, the Bard nonslip grip handles with centimeter scale (371610 for No. 10, 371615 for No. 15) combine a secure textured grip with an integrated measuring scale — useful for wound assessment and specimen sizing right at the field.

A common ordering question: blade size dictates handle compatibility, so confirm your handle accepts your chosen blade number before stocking. Browse the full Bard-Parker range for additional blade sizes and configurations to complete your surgical instrument setup.
