The present invention relates to an adapter sleeve that provides a contoured handle surface that is used to hold a scalpel blade during a surgical procedure. The adapter sleeve in a preferred embodiment can include a cavity in which the scalpel blade can be removably inserted for a single procedure. Alternatively, the adapter can be manufactured as a sterilizable unit with the scalpel blade capable of being rigidly mounted to a distal end of a handle.
