PenBlade provides a safety scalpel that is intuitive, ergonomic, and rigid. Its features include the suture-trimming groove, which both improves safety and can eliminate the need for suture-trimming scissors; and semi-passive retraction, which automatically retracts the blade when the button is released. These features increase the likelihood of blade retraction when passing or placing in a tray. The PenBlade design allows muscle memory (i.e., that of a click pen) to play a role in both intuitiveness and safety.
