Patent Number: US7101382B2
Retractable scalpel
Abstract
The present invention is a retractable scalpel device with two releasable latching elements. When the scalpel blade is in an extended position, each releasable latching element is accessible for depression by finger pressure to cause retraction of the extended blade. However, the releasable latching elements are located on opposite edges (top and bottom edges) of a cover housing and about halfway along its length. The releasable latching elements must be depressed at the same time for the extended scalpel blade to be retracted into the cover housing.

A safety scalpel that incorporates a reusable metal scalpel handle similar in shape and feel to the conventional metal handle preferred by most surgeons, and a disposable blade cartridge that covers the blade before, during and after use, and is easily mounted and released from the scalpel handle. The blade cartridge includes a blade with similar cutting profiles as standard surgical blades, a blade holder that is permanently fixed to the blade, and a blade guard that covers the blade and within which the blade holder is able to slide. The scalpel handle is reusable, while the blade cartridge is disposable. The blade cartridge is attached to and detached from the scalpel handle in a direction generally perpendicular the longitudinal axis of the scalpel handle.

Patent Number: US7087067B2
Surgical scalpel with protective sheath
Abstract
A protective sheath for a disposable surgical scalpel includes at least three modes of operation, (i) a protective mode, (ii) an open mode, and (iii) a permanently locked mode. In the open mode, a locking strip of the scalpel handle resides in one opening of the sheath to keep the sheath substantially immobile during use of the scalpel blade. In the protective mode, the locking strip resides in a second opening of the sheath to keep the sheath substantially immobile when the scalpel blade is not in use. In the permanently locked mode, a button connected to the sheath is depressed into the second opening and engages the locking strip, thereby preventing the blade from being used and allowing the scalpel to be safely disposed.
