A Study Of The Penetration And Sharpness Of Surgical Blade

Sharpness of surgical blades is an important parameter in cutting human tissues and skins. It has a critical effect on the quality of cutting (scarring, pain, sharps injury and infection transmission issues), the required energy to do the cutting, the surgery operation time and the protection for me...
