How are Apex Arachnoid Knives™sold? – Apex Arachnoid Knives™ are sold individually, preassembled in a sterile peel pack. – Apex Medical recommends that Apex Arachnoid Knives™ be used only once. The fine razor thin edge is precisely what makes these knives unique. It is impossible to maintain the sharpness of a fine delicate edge with extended use.
