SCALPEL HANDLE SHEATH WITH BLADE REMOVER

摘要

A scalpel handle sheath includes a body defining a handle-receiving cavity open to a first end of the body through a narrowed sleeve region, the body further defining a flexible arm adjacent the first end with a first boss extending inwardly therefrom adjacent the sleeve region. The sheath further includes a shield coupled with the body and slideable between a retracted position and a removal position. The shield defines an edge applying an inward force on the flexible arm during movement of the shield from toward the retracted position to the removal position and a removal flange extending within the shield and passing the first end of the body during movement of the shield from the toward retracted position to the removal position.

1. A scalpel handle sheath, comprising:
a body defining a handle-receiving cavity open on at least a first side of the body at an insertion opening, the receiving cavity further open to a first end of the body through a narrowed sleeve region remote from the insertion opening, the body further defining a flexible arm adjacent the first end with a first boss extending inwardly therefrom adjacent the sleeve region and a second boss extending outwardly from the arm; and a shield coupled with the body and slideable between a retracted position and a removal position with an intermediate extended position therebetween, the shield defining:
a clearance track receiving the second boss therein during sliding of the shield from the retracted position to the extended position, an edge of the clearance track applying an inward force on the second boss during movement of the shield from the extended position to the removal position; anda removal flange extending within the shield and passing the first end of the body during movement of the shield from the extended position to the removal position.
