Details
The number 11 is a straight blade that comes to a fine point, sharpened along the straight edge. You do not draw it through tissue the way you do a curved blade. You push the point in and pull down, which is exactly what lancing an abscess requires. That shape also makes it the one for any small precise stab: opening a pocket, starting an incision you will extend with something else, nicking through a tight layer without cutting what is underneath. It has almost no belly, so it is not the blade for long incisions. This box holds a hundred sterile, individually sealed blades for a reusable number 3 handle. A dull 11 will not enter cleanly and you will end up leaning on it, which is where accidents happen. These fit a number 3 handle. A number 4 takes blades in the twenties. Mount and strip with pliers or a needle driver, never fingers, and pull the blade away from yourself. Sharps go in a sharps container. Before you open anything that is hot, hard, near a joint, or on the face, phone your veterinarian.
