Main Description
The size 20 blade is a larger version of the size 10 blade with a curved cutting edge and a flat, unsharpened back edge. Founded in 1938, the maker focuses on surgical blades, scalpels, and the handles that carry them. Disposable scalpels remove reprocessing from the workflow, since the full unit is discarded after the case. The options here keep one size together so the count on the shelf always matches the count in the set. Production is certified to ISO 13485, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001 standards.

Why Choose Cincinnati Swann Morton Scalpels Size 20?
Cincinnati Surgical has manufactured surgical blades and scalpels in Cincinnati, Ohio since 1938. Since 2015 the company has made Swann-Morton blades under a joint manufacturing agreement with the Sheffield, England maker. That focus shows in listings like this one, where the options are the manufacturer’s own catalog options for the product.
- Fewer mid-case substitutions – the size, material, and sterility you pick are the ones that arrive
- Consistent supply – in-house sterilization and high daily output keep core sizes in production
- A specialist maker – the catalog is blades, scalpels, handles, and needles, nothing else
- Clean reorders – stable catalog numbers make the second order identical to the first
