The scalpel is held like a pencil for fine cuts, with the index finger resting on the back of the handle to steady the blade. In an animal dissection it makes the first shallow incision through the skin, frees organs from connective tissue and cuts neatly where scissors would tear. In plant work it slices stems, fruits and seeds in half so internal structures can be drawn and compared.
To keep the edge sharp, cut only on a wax pan, board or pad rather than on glass or metal. Pass the scalpel handle first, cut away from the body and put it down with the blade facing away from the user; after the practical, clean it carefully by holding the back of the blade and dry it before storage. It is one of the core items teachers list when ordering zoology lab equipment for a new batch of students.
