Abstract
A double-bladed scalpel for removal of tissues requiring consistent width along their length. Identical metal scalpel blades are embedded within an integral rigid supporting handle. The two blades protrude outwardly from one bifurcated handle end. A contoured finger rest permits the user to exert substantial cutting pressure when using the scalpel in applications where scribing of bony tissue is required.
