Best Answer

Don't put yourself, especially your fingers, in the blade's path.

If cutting living or sterile tissue, ensure the blade is sterilized first.

After cutting, put the scalpel into its place to ensure that you do not get cut later, and so you do not contaminate anything with the dirty blade.

If the blade is disposable, dispose of it a sharps container when finished.
