Abstract: A surgical scalpel handle assembly system and method that requires a surgeon to actively perform a verification process known as a “time out” verification process but specifically requires sequentially moving a series of actuator knobs on a scalpel handle upon affirming each criterion embedded in the scalpel handle. The required sequential confirmation of each criterion unlocks and ejects a blade holder from a scalpel handle to a position fully engaged and ready for blade attachment, surgery and in cutting position. The assembly system and method includes exposed visual indicia on the handle that indicates red color in stand by pre-operative position and indicates green exposed visual indices upon affirming verification of “time out” criteria and thus triggering the deployment of a fully exposed, engaged, and in a ready for surgery for blade attachment in handle.

Abstract: A surgical scalpel handle with an internal chamber and a removable electromagnetic resonance signal generating cartridge and an electromagnetic resonance sensor system is disclosed. A surgical scalpel handle is provided for with an internal chamber comprised of two pieces, a front piece with a blade holder and a back piece and when attached, the front end section and the back end section together comprise an internal cavity. An electromagnetic resonance signal generating cartridge comprising one or more printed circuit boards (PCB) are in electrical contact upon which an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) are mounted and having a magnet; a coil; and capacitor resonant circuit; an elastic member; a pressure sensitive feature; and having power source connections, and a removable power source having power source contacts; and power source connections complete the electrical contact between the electromagnetic signal generating cartridge and the removable power source housed in the internal cavity. An electromagnetic signal generating cartridge is disposed of in an internal cavity of a scalpel handle and generates an electromagnetic resonance signal. An electromagnetic sensor system apparatus with a sensor system disposed of vertical and horizontal planes is disclosed and is disposed of on a surgical table. The scalpel handle with an internal cavity and removable signal generating cartridge and with the electromagnetic sensor system apparatus with a sensor system can be used to digitally map the precise position, size, trajectory, shape, pressure and angle of the scalpel being used during surgical procedures. A pressure sensitive feature is disposed and in connection with the blade holder and the removable signal generating cartridge. The pressure exerted by a surgeon on the blade is transmitted through a blade holder to a pressure sensitive feature to switch from the stand by position of the cartridge to the on and generate an electromagnetic signal position. The emitted signals generated by the cartridge can be read by the provided for electromagnetic resonance sensor system to generate a digital record of coordinates in the x, y location in a horizontal plane and vertical plane as well as a digital record of trajectory of scalpel used during the procedure. The coordinates are stored in a memory device such as a RAM, tablet or computer. After communicating with a host machine, a monitor can display the surgeon's trace and exact location coordinates.
