Abstract
Scalpel guides for use with a tool guide of a surgical system are described. In one version, the scalpel guide includes a body defining a first guide slot sized and shaped to receive a body of a scalpel to guide a blade of the scalpel along a central axis without any lateral movement of the scalpel. The body also defines a second guide slot arranged such that the body of the scalpel inserted in the second guide slot is guided vertically by the sides of the second guide slot and allowed to move horizontally across the channel along the trajectory plane. Other versions of the scalpel guide are also described.
