A surgical blade remover is disclosed wherein a surgical blade is easily and effectively removed from the tang of a handle. The device is provided with two members which are spaced to form a channel sized to permit the tang to be positioned between them while the blade rests on the upper surfaces of the members. The channel between the members at their lower portions widens to permit the handle to enter the channel sufficiently that the heel of the blade can abut a projection which extends upward from each surface of the members. The handle enters this widened lower portion of the channel while the blade rests against the upper surfaces of the members thereby releasing the heel of the blade from the tang. The blade can then be removed from the handle by pulling the handle out of the channel because the projections prevent the blade from moving with the handle.

A device for removing a blade having an opening therethrough from a tang of a blade handle, said tang extending upwardly through said opening to mount said blade on said tang comprising: two members spaced to form a channel, said members having distal and proximal ends and upper and lower portions, each of said upper portions having a blade receiving surface mutually spaced a distance greater than the width of the tang and less than the width of the blade; the proximal ends of each of said upper portions having an upwardly extending projection to form a shoulder for abutting the heel of the blade; each of said members having a camming surface between its proximal upper portion and proximal lower portion, said camming surface directing the handle between said lower portions as the handle is pushed distally while the blade rests against said blade receiving surfaces to pry the heel of the blade over the tang; the proximal ends of said lower portion being mutually spaced a distance sufficient to permit said handle to be pushed distally between said members until the heel of said blade abuts said shoulders, said shoulders preventing said blade from moving with the handle as its is removed from the blade by pulling it longitudinally relative to the blade.
