Abstract
A coagulating scalpel including a cutting and coagulating element and a dissecting element. The dissecting element and cutting and coagulating element is positioned and configured and of such size that tissue to be cut can pass over or along a surface of the dissecting element and into the cutting zone of the scalpel. The surface of the dissecting element is adapted to permit substantially free passage of the tissue over or along the surface of the dissecting element upon movement of the scalpel.
