Abstract
A digitally flexible surgical blade suitable for tangential excision of skin lesions and unusual skin colorations wherein the blade comprises a flexible, one-piece, flat body having lobes projecting frontally from the body to shield the user's fingers from contact with the blade's cutting edge. The blade ends provide safe and efficient finger grips and the cutting edge does not extend along the full length of the blade's leading edge but only between the projecting lobes.
