The Scalpel is an item in Pathologic 2 that can be used for autopsies or as a melee weapon.

Out of the four scalpels found in the game (the other three being the Rusty Scalpel, the Lancet and the Menkhu's Finger, the regular scalpel is average in every aspect - price, durability and damage. It can be bought for a relatively low price at a Pharmacy, which is often preferable to maintaining it.

Scalpel is a melee weapon that is available in all routes; however, knives can only be wielded by the Bachelor and the Haruspex, but not the Changeling. Scalpels may be bought from Bad Grief. The Bachelor also has a scalpel in his inventory from the start of his route.

"A large cartilage scalpel. Can be used as a close combat weapon. Not very easy to handle, but very effective due to its sharpness. Deals the most damage when attacking from the front. Frequent use causes it to dull quickly."
