摘要:
A cutting blade for a morcellator where the blade sidewall includes a beveledor sloped surface that defines a sharpened edge. The sloped surface protectsthe sharpened edge of the morcellator blade when it is not obvious to a surgeonoperating the morcellator that a tenaculum used to grasp anatomical tissue atthe surgical site may have its tissue grasping claws spread to such an extent thatthe claws may contact the cutting blade of the morcellator. Under such circumstances,the tenaculum will contact the sloped portion of the inner surface of the cuttingblade, rather than the sharpened edge, thereby minimizing the chance that thesharpened edge will become dull or damaged.
