The Harrison Knife, Very Small Blade Angled 45°, 6 1/8 inches is a specialized surgical cutting instrument designed for precise tissue incision, dissection, and controlled surgical manipulation. Its compact blade profile and 45° angled configuration make it particularly useful when accurate blade positioning and access to a specific operative area are important.
A key feature of this Harrison Knife is its 45° angled blade. The angled working end allows the cutting edge to approach tissue from an offset position while the surgeon maintains control of the handle. This configuration can provide useful access in areas where a straight-blade surgical knife may be less convenient to position. The very small blade is designed for localized cutting and fine surgical work rather than broad tissue division.
With an overall length of 6 1/8 inches, the instrument provides a practical balance between working reach and maneuverability. Its moderate length allows the surgeon to maintain controlled handling while positioning the small angled blade accurately within the surgical field. This makes the instrument a useful addition to specialized surgical instrument sets where precision and access are important considerations.
The Harrison Knife may be used in appropriate general surgical and specialty surgical applications requiring controlled cutting or fine dissection. Depending on the procedure and surgeon preference, a small angled surgical knife can assist with localized incision, tissue separation, or other delicate cutting maneuvers. The precise clinical application should be determined by the qualified healthcare professional according to the operative technique and anatomical requirements.
The compact working end is beneficial when working within restricted spaces. A very small blade allows the surgeon to perform focused cutting without introducing an unnecessarily large cutting surface into the operative field. Combined with the 45° angle, the design provides an alternative approach for controlled surgical manipulation and can support precise instrument positioning during delicate procedures.
For professional healthcare use, the instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, a material valued for strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and suitability for repeated instrument processing. Stainless steel construction helps the Harrison Knife withstand routine handling, cleaning, and sterilization when maintained according to appropriate manufacturer instructions and healthcare facility protocols.
After use, the Harrison Knife should be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated before sterilization. The instrument should be inspected for visible contamination, corrosion, damage, blade wear, or deformation before being returned to service. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method compatible with the instrument. Proper cleaning, drying, sterilization, and storage procedures help maintain instrument condition and support reliable performance over its service life.
The Harrison Knife 45° Angled, Very Small Blade is a practical choice for medical professionals seeking a specialized surgical knife for precise cutting and controlled access. Its combination of a compact blade, 45° angulation, 6 1/8-inch length, and durable surgical construction makes it suitable for professional surgical instrument collections requiring fine cutting capabilities.
