ABSTRACT:
A suture cutter of the chopper type uniquely adapted to permit using the blade portion as a probe to be inserted between the skin and a suture, with an opposed anvil portion not necessarily adapted to be used as a probe being brought in contact with the suture, thus capturing and severing it the suture between blade and anvil. Using the blade instead of the anvil as the probe permits design of an anvil which optimally serves its desired function.
