ABSTRACT:
A medical cutting instrument including an elongated member having one end thereof curved to permit the application of pressure from a finger. A cutting blade is associated with the curved portion of the elongated member to permit tissue to be cut at a precise depth and width. A cutting blade forms an integral part of the elongated member and is so shaped that a rearward pull on the elongated member serves to cause the blade to cut the tissue. The entire elongated member including the blade and curved portion are all made of material that is readily sterilizable without losing its temper so that the instrument can be resharpened and sterilized numerous times. The instrument is particularly useful in obtaining tissue grafts that can be used in dental surgery and the like.
