Craft Knife Organizer

 

Hold precision non-retractable knife blades such as scalpels and Xacto knives.

Blades enter the pad and retract without effort. Keeps handles at the ready for ease of use. No broken blades. Footprint is 3″ x 3″

Features a re-stickable foam tape that hold the pad securely in place when knife is removed. Place pad on horizontal or vertical surface without worry blades will fall.

Comes with our labeling and with real wood trim: oak, red oak, and walnut finishes.

The top layer features micro foam pockets that will absorb and hold isopropyl alcohol.

We offer private labeling, large commercial pricing, military and compay purchase orders. Please contact us for details.

Top layer is a semi-closed foam that features pockets that will allow blade immersion in isopropyl alcohol to disinfect blades. Simply soak the pad and insert knife blade.

Versatile

You may ask us to add small holes on the organizer to accommodate other small tools such as tweezers, spatulas, probes, and more .

Used in electronics, industrial, and medical manufacturing environments. Customization is available, subject to minimum order. The non-marking foam adhesive base keeps the pad in place yet removes without leaving any residue on the surface. The pad is mountable vertically as well. The top layer will hold isopropyl alcohol to disinfect the blade. The amount of time it will retain ISA depends on room humidity.

Safety when working with precision knives

Follow these guidelines when you are working with Scalpels, X-acto, and non-retractable precession knives.

  • Do not uncover or unwrap the sharp object until it is time to use it.
  • Keep the object pointed away from yourself and other people at all times.
  • Never bend a sharp object.
  • Keep your fingers away from the tip of the object.
  • If the object is reusable, put it in a secure, secure container after you use it.
  • Never hand a sharp object to someone else or put it on a tray for another person to pick up. Place knife in safe and secure container for another person to retrieve.
  • Disinfect knife blade after use if reusing later.
  • Dispose of blades in a Sharps bin.
  • Set up written rules on proper handling of sharp objects from unpacking, using and to set the object down or pick it up.

Teaching and enforcing protocols about how to use a scalpel, X-acto, and non-retractable art knives, safely are top concerns wherever these tools are used. This is because precision knives are known for being extremely sharp and dangerous

Scalpels and Xacto knives are excellent for their precision and maneuverability in tight spaces. This makes them popular in laboratories and in manufacturing, or wherever precise cutting or scraping is required.

Regardless of the application, safety rules are paramount. All of these jobs have one thing in common: they require hand and finger dexterity. A hand laceration can sideline or permanently disable a worker who relies heavily on fine hand movements. Hands are complex and difficult to heal once someone sustains a serious injury, so prevention is critical.

 

Isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol, is an effective disinfectant for hard surfaces due to its ability to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Here’s a simple breakdown:

  1. Denaturing and Penetration: Isopropyl alcohol has a structure that allows it to denature or disrupt the protein structure of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This process essentially renders them inactive. It also helps the alcohol to penetrate the cell walls of microorganisms.

  2. Dehydration: Isopropyl alcohol is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts and absorbs water. When it comes into contact with a microorganism, it can strip away the protective membranes and cellular structures, causing dehydration and eventual death of the organism.

  3. Fast Evaporation: Isopropyl alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving behind a dry surface. This rapid evaporation is advantageous because it reduces the time microorganisms are in contact with the alcohol, limiting the risk of them developing resistance.

  4. Versatility: Isopropyl alcohol is effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It’s commonly used on surfaces like countertops, electronics, and medical equipment.

However, it’s important to note that isopropyl alcohol may not be effective against all types of bacteria or viruses, and it’s generally recommended for use on hard, non-porous surfaces. Additionally, proper cleaning procedures and sufficient contact time are essential for optimal disinfection.

Isopropyl alcohol can be used to disinfect scalpel blades, but it’s essential to follow proper procedures to ensure effective sterilization. Here are some guidelines:

  1. Cleaning First: Before disinfection, it’s crucial to clean the scalpel blade thoroughly. This can be done by removing any visible debris or tissue using a detergent or enzymatic cleaner.

  2. Isopropyl Alcohol Concentration: Use a high concentration of isopropyl alcohol for disinfection. A concentration of 70% is often recommended for optimal effectiveness. This concentration strikes a balance between water content and alcohol content, allowing better penetration and denaturation of microorganisms.

  3. Immersive Disinfection: Immerse the cleaned scalpel blade in the isopropyl alcohol solution for an adequate amount of time. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the specific product you are using, as contact time can vary.

  4. Proper Handling: Use proper techniques and tools to handle the scalpel blade during the disinfection process to avoid injury.

Here are some ways scalpel and X-ACTO blades  are used in industrial manufacturing:

  • Electronics Manufacturing: used for cutting and trimming tiny electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCBs).
  • Automotive Industry: used for cutting and trimming various materials used in automotive manufacturing, such as plastic, rubber, and fabric.
  • Aerospace Industry: used for cutting and trimming delicate materials used in aerospace manufacturing, such as composites, carbon fibre, and aluminum.
  • Textile Industry: used for precision cutting of fabrics, such as for cutting out intricate patterns, creating seam lines, and trimming excess materials.
  • Plastic Manufacturing: used for precision cutting of plastic sheets, films, and molds.
  • Medical Device Manufacturing: used for precision cutting of various materials used in medical device manufacturing, such as catheters and surgical tools.
