    摘要: Surgical knives are disclosed, for initiating percutaneous access to a surgical site. The knife has a body with a rear handle and a front cutter portion. It may have a central cannulation to receive a guide wire, along a front-to-rear operating axis. The cutter portion has first and second blades opposed across the axis, each having an outward cutting edge directed laterally outwardly relative to the operating axis and a flat outward face also directed laterally outwardly relative to the operating axis and transversely to the respective outward cutting edge. The first and second outward faces of the two blades converge forwardly to their tip points, which lie close to the axis, and their cutting edges are oppositely directed. Alternatively a single blade may be used, forwardly convergent with the axis.

    摘要: A subcutaneous implant removal device designed to work with a variety of cylindrical implants. The implant removal device comprises a non-planar base. The non-planar base is dimensioned to be placed onto the epidermal surface of a patient's skin. The base has a proximal end and a distal end. When placed on the patient's skin, the proximal end slopes upward while the distal end slopes downward along the patient's skin. The subcutaneous implant removal device also includes a pinnacle. The pinnacle extends upward from the non-planar base and has a front face and a rear face. The front face of the pinnacle is dimensioned to receive a force from a thumb of a clinician, holding the removal device in place on the patient's skin during use. A method for removing a subcutaneous implant is also provided.
