Further to the implementation of the EU Sharps Directive across the member states of extended Europe, Swann-Morton has responded to the demand for a safety stitch cutter. Functioning in the same fashion as the existing range of Retractable safety scalpels the Stitch Cutter has a high-visibility Yellow slider to compliment the Red body. Stitch Cutters are often used within GP Practice, Care homes, or during Domiciliary visits so an exposed sharp mustn't be left around after use as there may well be other parties such as children, residents, or even a household pet within the immediate vicinity. With the Safety Stitch cutter, the blade can be retracted away and locked in place to avoid any potential sharps injuries. Samples are available on request.
