The risk of injury and infection is greatly reduced whenever dull, contaminated blades are removed and replaced with new blades. The Stealth™ line of scalpels includes the first #60 disposable safety scalpel available to the medical community. The user withdraws the slip-resistant sheath to expose the blade. A one-handed technique can be used to cover the blade when it’s not in use. The disposable handle and blades can be discarded when they become dull.
