ABSTRACT:
A scalpel blade sheath which encloses and retains a scalpel blade therein. A scalpel handle is selectively inserted into the sheath whereby the scalpel blade is securely attached to the scalpel handle in preparation for cutting operations. The sheath is selectively slipped onto the scalpel handle to expose the blade for the cutting operation. The sheath is repositioned over the scalpel blade to protect the blade (and the user thereof) when the cutting operation is concluded. When the blade is to be removed from the scalpel handle after the cutting operation, the scalpel blade is retained within the sheath for safe and sanitary disposal of the blade and the sheath.
