Low-profile Leica 819 disposable blades are made of stainless steel with high durability.

An inventive blade coating process using PTFE enables section stretching and quality sectioning ribbons in routine histology.

Fine yet durable, the 80 mm long x 8 mm high x 0.25 mm thick blades are specifically designed for use with Leica Biosystems microtomes or cryostats classified and labeled as in vitro diagnostic medical devices for histological medical diagnosis, e.g. cancer diagnosis.
