The optic scalpel is a scalpel available in various sizes and shapes that have circular led lights surrounding the base of the knife blade. When activated the lights provide additional lighting for surgical procedures. The optic scalpel optimizes lighting conditions for accurate incisions or dissections. The optic scalpel improves from its predecessor by intergrading led lights with a scalpel. The optic scalpel can be used independently to illuminate a local area for incisions or tissue cutting. The optic scalpel is powered by cell batteries that are located in the handle. The led lights are activated by a switch on the top of the handle.
