Grade A

High-Carbon Surgical Steel

Grade 1.1274 / C100S (Swiss Strip Carbon)

BS 2982:1992ISO 7740:1985CE 0123 / ISO 13485

Technical Specifications & Lab Performance

Vickers Surface Hardness750 – 820 HV (Extremely Hard)

Initial Sharpness (Cutting Force)< 0.85 N (Ultra-sharp micro-fine edge)

Edge Retention (Multi-incision OR)High (Minimal burr formation)

Corrosion Resistance (Moist/Saline)Moderate (Protected by VCI foil pouch)

Micro-Flexibility & Fracture ResistanceHigh elasticity, zero brittle snap

Key Clinical Advantages

Superior razor-sharp initial cutting edge requiring minimal surgical force
Less cellular trauma, smoother incision margin, and faster wound healing
Cost-effective for high-volume hospital procurement & government tenders

Clinical Limitations

Must be stored in airtight sealed VCI foil packs to prevent atmospheric oxidation
Not recommended for prolonged immersion in corrosive antiseptic baths prior to use

Recommended Surgical Applications:

• Ophthalmic & Plastic Surgery requiring extreme incision precision
• General Surgery, Laparoscopy & Cardiovascular incisions
• High-volume OR day-surgery centers & emergency trauma wards

Sterilization Validation:

Gamma Radiation (25 kGy) / Electron Beam Sterilization with VCI packaging.

Grade B

Medical Stainless Steel

AISI 420 / 420J2 (13% Chromium Martensitic)

BS 2982:1992ISO 7740:1985ASTM F899

Technical Specifications & Lab Performance

Vickers Surface Hardness680 – 720 HV (Tough & Ductile)

Initial Sharpness (Cutting Force)< 0.95 N (Precision sharp edge)

Edge Retention (Multi-incision OR)Consistent (High wear resistance)

Corrosion Resistance (Moist/Saline)Excellent (Self-passivating Chromium oxide)

Micro-Flexibility & Fracture ResistanceSuperior toughness in heavy tissue incisions

Key Clinical Advantages

100% rustproof in wet, saline, and humid operating room environments
Longer shelf-life in high-humidity tropical hospital storage (5 years)
Preferred by dental, ENT, and orthopedic surgeons cutting through dense fascia

Clinical Limitations

Slightly higher raw material cost compared to carbon steel
Marginally higher penetration force (<0.95N vs <0.85N) compared to ultra-hard carbon

Recommended Surgical Applications:

• Orthopedic, Maxillofacial, and Dental surgery
• Autopsy, Pathology, and Field hospital deployments in humid climates
• Procedures involving heavy fluid, saline irrigation, and moist tissue dissection

Sterilization Validation:

Gamma Irradiation (25 kGy) or Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas.

Clinical Recommendation & Procurement Verdict

Choose **High-Carbon Steel** for precision plastic, ophthalmic, and general OR surgery where maximum sharpness and minimal tissue drag are critical. Choose **Stainless Steel** for humid tropical climates, dense tissue dissection, and prolonged shelf-life requirements.

Manshav Impex Export Assurance: Manshav Impex supplies both grades in sizes #9 through #36, individually sealed in medical-grade peelable foil with Gamma sterilization batch certificates.
