Harrison Knife, Very Small Blade, Angled 90°, 6 1/8

The Harrison Knife, Very Small Blade, Angled 90°, 6 1/8 inches is a precision surgical knife designed for controlled cutting and dissection where access is limited and a compact blade profile is beneficial. Its very small blade and right-angle configuration provide surgeons with a specialized cutting instrument for procedures that require accurate blade positioning and careful tissue handling.

The defining feature of this Harrison Knife is its 90° angled blade. The perpendicular orientation allows the cutting edge to approach the operative field from a controlled angle while the surgeon maintains the handle in a comfortable working position. This configuration can be particularly useful when a straight instrument would provide limited access or when the surgical site requires a more specialized approach.

With an overall length of approximately 6 1/8 inches, the Harrison Knife provides useful reach without becoming unnecessarily bulky. The compact design supports precise manipulation and can be advantageous during delicate surgical procedures where instrument control is important. The very small blade is intended for fine, localized cutting rather than broad tissue division, making the instrument suitable for applications where accuracy is prioritized.

The Harrison Knife can be used in appropriate general surgical, specialty surgical, and precision dissection applications, depending on the surgeon’s technique and the requirements of the procedure. Its small cutting profile may assist with controlled incision, tissue separation, or other fine surgical maneuvers requiring a compact blade. As with any specialized surgical knife, the exact clinical application should be determined by the operating professional according to the procedure and established surgical technique.

For professional medical environments, surgical instruments must provide dependable handling and resistance to repeated processing. This instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, providing the strength, corrosion resistance, and surface durability expected from reusable surgical instruments. Stainless steel construction also supports routine cleaning and sterilization when the instrument is designed and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The smooth instrument surface helps facilitate cleaning by reducing areas where biological material can accumulate. Proper reprocessing is essential after each use. The Harrison Knife should be thoroughly cleaned, rinsed, dried, inspected, and sterilized using a validated method appropriate for the instrument and consistent with the healthcare facility’s infection-control procedures. Any reusable cutting instrument should also be inspected regularly for blade condition, alignment, corrosion, surface damage, or other signs of wear before clinical use.

The ergonomic length and 90-degree blade orientation provide a useful combination of reach and control. For surgeons and healthcare professionals looking for a small angled surgical knife, the Harrison Knife offers a specialized configuration suitable for precision-oriented operative work. Its compact blade design makes it a practical addition to a professional surgical instrument collection where specialized cutting instruments are required.

Proper handling and maintenance can help preserve the knife’s performance and extend its usable service life. Instruments should be handled carefully during cleaning, sterilization, storage, and transportation to avoid accidental damage to the blade or shaft. When maintained correctly, the Harrison Knife can provide consistent performance for repeated professional surgical use.
