Adjutable scalpel handle

The Adjustable Scalpel Handle is a crucial innovation in surgical instrumentation, especially for intricate procedures like those in oral and periodontal surgery and implantology.¹ Unlike traditional rigid scalpel handles (like the standard #3 or #4), this specialized handle features a rotating or pivoting head that allows the surgeon to adjust and lock the scalpel blade to multiple angles (often up to ²$180^\circ$ or seven different positions).³ This unique capability provides unparalleled access to hard-to-reach surgical sites within the oral cavity, such as the posterior and palatal areas.⁴ Its ergonomic design, often made from high-quality, sterilizable stainless steel, enhances the operator's control, precision, and dexterity, simultaneously reducing hand fatigue during extended procedures.⁵ By accommodating standard surgical blades (e.g., sizes #10 through #15) and providing versatile angular control, the adjustable scalpel handle minimizes the need for multiple fixed-angle instruments, streamlining the surgical kit and contributing to more accurate
