The “new” range of Swann-Morton Ergonomic handles is designed to maximize performance and dexterity and feature a textured surface finish for ease and comfort of grip whilst minimizing fatigue. These ergonomically designed handles are used in Histology, Pathology / Autopsy, and Laboratory settings whilst they can be autoclaved to avoid any cross-contamination of samples. The handles are also colour-coded for ease of recognition.

Finally, there is the Grey No.8 Ergonomic Handle (2618) which is compatible with the pathology/autopsy blades PM60 and PM60 bull nose.
