Abstract:Objective To overcome the defects of the blade of the ordinary scalpel handle that passive protective measures must
be adopted in the operation to keep away from injury, and to improve compliance, suitability and economy. Methods A safe
and convenient “built-in type quick release type and parallel type scalpel rack” was designed by referring to and complying with
the national standards (GB) and the relevant patent of the research group: sliding edge protecting sheath, clamping spring type
positioning device and closed automatic reset patent technology. The automatic scalpel handle could be transmitted directly. Results
The results of questionnaire survey on the actual loading and unloading of surgeons and operating room nurses showed that an autoreset
universal matched safety scalpel handle took less time for loading and unloading (P<0.05). Surgeons and nurses were more
satisfied (P<0.05). Conclusion The automatic scalpel handle has the advantages of safe stab prevention, comfortable grip, good
resistance to damage, simplified operation steps, synergistic effect, lower consumption, and environmental protection, and it has the
advantages of multiple functions, man-machine harmony, portability and easy storage.
