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.

L'invention porte sur un scalpel de sûreté comportant un manche métallique réutilisable de la forme et du toucher de ceux de métal préférés de la plupart des chirurgiens, et une cartouche de lame à jeter recouvrant la lame avant, pendant et après son utilisation, et facilement fixable au ou détachable du manche. La cartouche, contient: une lame d'un profil similaire à celui d'une lame classique de scalpel; un support de lame solidaire de la lame; et une garde recouvrant la lame et dans laquelle le support de lame peut coulisser. Le manche du scalpel est donc réutilisable tandis que la lame est à jeter. La cartouche se fixe au manche ou s'en détache dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du manche.
