Double-edged scalpels are referred to as "lancets". Scalpel blades are usually individually packed in sterile pouches but are also offered non-sterile. Disposable scalpels usually have a plastic handle with an extensible blade (like a utility knife) and are used once, then the entire instrument is discarded. Re-usable scalpels can have permanently attached blades that can be sharpened or, more commonly, removable single-use blades.
