The Scalpel Handle according to Collin No. 9 (14.5 cm) is an operating room-grade instrument favored in ENT, dermatology, gynecology, and pathology/mortuary laboratories. Measuring 14.5 cm (5 ¾ inches), it serves as the slightly longer companion to the No. 8 handle, retaining the classic European Collin architecture characterized by a hollow or flat ergonomic handle and a distinct ultra-thin neck. This thin profile provides the surgeon with excellent balance, tactile feedback, and an unobstructed line of sight when making incisions inside restricted spaces.
