The scalpel test is an informal assessment used to evaluate a surgeon's dexterity and precision. During this test, a surgeon is asked to perform a simple task, such as making an incision on a specific surface, often a piece of fruit or a piece of skin-like material. The test assesses not just the ability to handle a scalpel but also the surgeon's control, steadiness, and technique, which are critical for successful surgical outcomes. While not a formalized part of surgical training, it serves as a practical demonstration of a surgeon's skills.

What is the use of scalpel handle?
The scalpel handle holds a scalpel blade to facilitate use during Surgery. Some plastic handles with a blade already attached are disposable and intended for single procedure use on just one patient. Metal scalpel handles are sterilized in the autoclave for reuse in multiple Surgical cases. A fresh blade slots onto the scalpel handle and can be replaced as needed during Surgery by the Surgical Technologist or Scrub Nurse. Scalpel blades are intended for limited use to make sure that a sharp blade is always available for precision work. Different types and sizes of blade can be fitted to suite the Surgeons needs.
