3M™ Surgical Clipper Blade 9680 is uniquely designed to prevent skin from being pulled into the cutting blade. Paired with away-from-the-skin blade positioning, it demonstrated a nick rate of just 5% in clinical studies, compared with the CareFusion® 4406 General Purpose Blade at 25% and the Medline™ DYND70850 Universal Blade at 12.5%¹.

1. Study EM-05-012508

Powered by a lithium ion (Li-ion) battery, it provides 160 minutes of clipping time on a 3-hour recharge. This means the clipper always runs at full power even when not fully charged and can be stored in the charge stand without shortening the battery life.

The 9680 blade is effective for standard clipping and trauma procedures and all types of head and body hair, including sensitive areas of the body. This helps the operating theatre standardise clipping protocols, prevent surgical site infections, and eliminate the need to purchase multiple clipper blades.
