Buy Surgical Blades in Nigeria.

What is included in a surgical-blade purchase?

A replacement blade is a separate catalogue item from a complete disposable scalpel. GIMA lists sterile replacement scalpel blades by numbered pattern and material, and also lists a series of sterile gouge blades. The two groups have their own article numbers and should appear on separate purchase lines. A broad request for “surgical blades” is not precise enough to identify the product a buyer intends to order.

Start with the existing instrument system, the blade family and the exact pattern or gouge number specified by the responsible purchaser. For a replacement blade, include the material where it is part of the requirement. For a gouge blade, include the article number and confirm its stated handle compatibility. Then compare the manufacturer page with the quote line so that the package and article match.

Where can I buy surgical blades in Nigeria?

Franance can prepare a written quotation for GIMA surgical blades in Nigeria. Browse the surgical-blades category, compare an exact item such as GIMA article 27000, and request the required article and quantity in the Franance quote cart. The GIMA brand page links to the wider catalogue.

Include the article, pattern or size, material, pack quantity and destination city or state. Franance will confirm the current product and commercial terms in its written response. A catalogue listing does not confirm Nigerian stock, price or delivery, so review those details in the quote before proceeding.

Which GIMA blade patterns and materials are available?

The GIMA replacement-blade articles in this selection cover carbon-steel and stainless-steel patterns. Carbon-steel articles 27000–27009 correspond to patterns No. 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 15c; stainless-steel articles 27020–27028 cover No. 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. The article number is the safest way to disambiguate a pattern and material.

GIMA also lists ten carbon-steel gouge-blade references: articles 22501–22506 for Nos. 1–6, article 22508 for No. 8, 22510 for No. 10, 22512 for No. 12 and 22515 for No. 15. Each pattern is a separate item. Match the requested article to the source page before comparing the offer.

How should I compare carbon-steel and stainless-steel blades?

GIMA identifies carbon steel for the 27000-series scalpel blades and stainless steel for the 27020-series. Compare those material statements against the requirement rather than assuming that the two series are interchangeable. The source lists the same common numbered patterns in both materials, so the article number and material should travel together through the requisition, quotation and purchase approval.

The material label alone does not establish a grade, coating, service life or performance claim. If a specification calls for a particular standard or material certificate, ask for evidence tied to the exact article. Do not infer such information from the appearance of a product photo or from another blade in the same catalogue group.

What distinguishes the gouge-blade articles?

The GIMA gouge products are separately titled as carbon-steel gouge blades and use article numbers in the 22501–22515 range. The listed sizes include Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15. GIMA describes individual peel-open foil packaging and states compatibility with handle No. 3 and its special gouge handle. These details make the gouge group distinct from the 27000-series replacement scalpel blades.

When requesting a gouge article, give both the article number and the stated size, and identify the handle reference if compatibility needs to be checked. A size number by itself does not establish that a different handle system will fit. Have the technical buyer compare the precise GIMA model page and the instrument’s documentation before approving the offer.

How many blades are in a quoted pack?

GIMA lists its 27000-series carbon-steel and 27020-series stainless-steel scalpel blades in dispenser boxes of 100, with individual blades packed in aluminium foil. The gouge-blade pages instead describe individual peel-open foil packaging. Use the exact product page to confirm a package statement and do not copy the scalpel-blade box quantity onto a gouge item.

For a worked procurement example, if the requester needs two dispenser boxes of article 27000, the request is two boxes and the source-listed content is 100 blades per box. Ask the quote to state the commercial unit and total supplied quantity explicitly. The arithmetic helps reconcile a purchase, but it does not create a separate product variation or change the manufacturer article.

How should I confirm blade and handle compatibility?

For GIMA gouge blades, the catalogue description names handle No. 3 and the GIMA special gouge handle. Confirm the intended handle using its exact reference and ask that the quotation repeat the compatibility statement. The listed replacement scalpel-blade pages should be matched to the handle system named by the buyer; do not assume that a familiar pattern number proves compatibility with every handle.

If the existing handle is from another manufacturer, provide its exact reference and request a model-specific confirmation before placing the order. A similar outline in a photograph is not enough to establish fit. Keep a compatibility statement in the written offer when it is important to the purchase, and have the equipment owner approve any proposed alternative.

What should a buyer compare across the product pages?

Compare product family, GIMA article, pattern number, material, sterility statement, handle compatibility and manufacturer pack. The 27000-series and 27020-series scalpel blades share many pattern numbers but differ by listed material. The gouge blades have a distinct family name and compatibility description. Reading those fields together is more reliable than comparing only the title or image.

Use product-page images as catalogue illustrations, while relying on the article and written specifications for identity. If a field is not stated for the selected article, ask the supplier rather than copying an attribute from a neighboring model. Keep product descriptions concise and source-backed so a procurement reviewer can identify the requested item without interpreting unsupported claims.

How should a buyer read a blade size number?

The manufacturer pattern number is a product identifier, not a measurement in millimetres. For example, article 27000 is titled No. 10 and article 27003 is titled No. 15; those numbers are not a stated blade length or width. Keep the No. notation and article number as GIMA prints them. The same general pattern may appear in both a carbon-steel and a stainless-steel series, so include the material or exact article when comparing options.

The 22500-series gouge articles use their own numbered range. They should not be mixed into a table of replacement scalpel patterns simply because both products are called blades. Use the table to find a GIMA article, then confirm the full title and product family on the linked item page. If a requisition uses a locally shortened code, match it to the manufacturer article before requesting a quote.

What should be agreed for repeat blade purchases?

If a facility reorders blades, keep the approved article number, pattern, material and package together. For articles 27000–27009 and 27020–27028, the manufacturer lists 100 blades per dispenser box, individually foil packed. For gouge items, GIMA states individual peel-open foil packaging and identifies compatible GIMA handle references. Those are materially different purchasing details and should not be collapsed into a single generic “box of blades” line.

Ask the supplier’s written offer to repeat the exact article and unit, especially when the buyer is ordering several patterns at once. If the pack count or compatibility statement has changed on current documentation, resolve it before approving a repeat order. This avoids ambiguity about whether the purchase is for replacement blades, a gouge article, or a different material series.

How do the two scalpel-blade material series overlap?

The carbon-steel and stainless-steel replacement lists share patterns No. 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. For those shared patterns, the article number distinguishes the material series: the carbon-steel articles are in the 27000 range and stainless-steel articles are in the 27020 range. No. 15c appears as carbon-steel article 27009 in this selection, with no corresponding stainless-steel item shown.

This comparison is useful when a request specifies a pattern but omits material. Ask the responsible purchaser to clarify which article is intended rather than choosing one series by default. The order should identify the article number and material together; this makes it clear whether the quoted item matches the requirement and prevents a pattern match from hiding a material difference.

How should the No. 15c reference be handled?

GIMA’s carbon-steel replacement-blade list includes article 27009, No. 15c. The stainless-steel replacement group in this selection lists articles through No. 24 and does not include a corresponding No. 15c item. This is one reason to check the whole article-and-material combination instead of assuming that every pattern in one series is also offered in the other.

If a requisition specifies No. 15c, confirm that its material requirement matches the available carbon-steel article and that the exact number appears in the quote. Do not substitute No. 15 or another pattern without approval. The same principle applies to gouge sizes: the listed numbers skip 7, 9, 11, 13 and 14, so use the manufacturer’s article list rather than inferring a pattern that GIMA does not list.
