ABSTRACT:
A suture remover comprising a shearing portion having a cutting edge, and a blade having a cutting section. The cutting edge and cutting section are adapted to shearingly contact one another by moving toward and away from each other. An element is provided on the shearing portion which has a contact area. The element is affixed to the shearing portion at the end of the element remote from the contact area and has at least one bend in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the shearing portion and adjacent the end. The contact area overlies the cutting edge or extends beyond it in the direction of the cutting section. At least a part of the cutting section is adapted to be placed between tissue and a suture therein, whereby bringing the cutting section into shearing contact with the cutting edge causes the suture remover to both cut and grip the suture for easy removal.
The means for causing the movement of the cutting edge and cutting section may advantageously be a scissor-like construction or, if desired, a tweezer-like construction.
