Steel and standards
Built from high-grade stainless steel
Every Scalpra instrument starts with a deliberate choice of stainless steel. We select martensitic and austenitic alloys for corrosion resistance, edge retention, and a balanced weight that suits daily professional use.
Steel specification
Three steel criteria
The properties we test for are the ones that matter in practice, from the first use to the hundredth.
Corrosion resistance
Martensitic and austenitic stainless steel grades are selected to resist corrosion through repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles.
Edge retention
Blades and jaws are finished to hold a clean working edge, with sharpness assessed before each instrument leaves our workshop.
Ergonomic weight balance
Each instrument is balanced so the weight sits evenly in the hand, reducing fatigue during extended handling.
Before dispatch
Every instrument is checked by hand before packaging
Dimensional verification, alignment tests, and edge sharpness assessments are completed piece by piece. Autoclave compatibility and sterilization guidance are documented for every instrument line.
