Our retractable disposable safety scalpel is easy-to-use with the following three steps: First, press down the lever and push forward to extend the blade out of the safety cartridge. The scalpel features a strong temporary forward lock position to prevent uncontrolled retraction when contacting with bone during use. After use, to retract the blade, press down the lever and pull backward. Finally, to dispose the device pull the lever completely back until you hear a ‘click.’ At that point the blade is fully retracted and is in the permanent lock position for final disposal.
