ABSTRACT:
A scalpel is set forth having a handle with a blade at one end which defines a first depth of cut. To transform the scalpel for cutting to a lesser, second depth of cut a removable guard is provided. The guard is attached to the scalpel handle with a bayonet-type connection and has a tip to be disposed near one side of the blade. When the guard is attached, the blade projects past the tip a predetermined amount to define the second depth of cut. Guards are constructed for right or left hand preference.
