Abstract
A combination guarded surgical scalpel and blade stripper (200, 300) uses the sliding guard (202, 301) in cooperation with an ejector button (238, 311) to strip a (used) blade (224, 314) from the scalpel (200, 300) thereby avoiding manual contact with the blade (224, 314) and the problems associated therewith.
