AI Technical Summary
Benefits of technology
The surgical instrument handle allows for precise and repeatable multi-plane incisions while reducing the risk of injury to users by providing a controlled mechanism for blade extension and retraction, ensuring safe handling and use.
Problems solved by technology
The corneal surface indentation creates a non-uniform surgical incision which prevents the cornea tissue from healing in a natural position.
Unfortunately, surgical instruments with extremely sharp blades present an inherent risk of injury to professionals involved in the packaging, shipping, handling, and use of the surgical instruments for surgical procedures.
Although any sharp edge may be capable of causing injury if mishandled, extremely sharp blades can cause significant trauma with very little force.
Although extremely sharp blades may facilitate a surgeon's ability to create precise, uniform surgical incisions, there is still a risk that an incision performed with an extremely sharp blade may heal improperly.
For example, severed edges of tissue may heal unevenly unless sutures are used to hold the severed edges in a natural position.
Unfortunately, suturing delicate tissue may pose additional risks to a patient.
Unfortunately, multi-plane surgical incision procedures are difficult for a surgeon to perform accurately.
Additionally, it is difficult for a surgeon to repeat an accurate multi-plane incision with precision.

Embodiment Construction
[0020]FIGS. 1A and 1B are schematic diagrams illustrating a surgical blade 100. FIG. 1A illustrates a top view, a side view, and a bottom view of surgical blade 100. FIG. 1B illustrates a side view and a top view of surgical blade 100. In one or more embodiments, surgical blade 100 may comprise a blade mount 110 and a blade 120. Illustratively, blade mount 110 is configured to support blade 120. Blade mount 110 comprises a blade mount distal end 111 and a blade mount proximal end 112. In one or more embodiments, blade mount 110 may be configured to orient blade 120 at an angle 130, e.g., for making surgical incisions. Blade mount 110 may be manufactured from any suitable material, e.g., polymers, metals, metal alloys, etc., or from any combination of suitable materials.
[0021]Illustratively, blade 120 may be configured to make surgical incisions. Blade 120 comprises a blade distal end 121, a blade proximal end 122, and at least one blade edge 123. In one or more embodiments, blade pr...

A surgical blade may include a surgical incision guide configured to guide a surgical incision. The surgical incision guide may include one or more surgical incision guide marks. A surgical incision guide mark may be configured to provide information about a surgical incision. For example, a surgeon may compare a location of a surgical incision guide with a portion of a tissue to identify an incision depth. Illustratively, a surgeon may compare a location of a surgical incision guide with a portion of a tissue to identify an optimum incision depth to adjust an orientation of a surgical blade.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Application is a continuation of prior application Ser. No. 13 / 572,349 filed Aug. 10, 2012.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present disclosure relates to a surgical instrument, and, more particularly, to a surgical instrument for making surgical incisions.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Some surgical procedures require a surgical instrument with an extremely sharp blade. In order to create very precise incisions in a tissue that is difficult to cut due to, e.g., the tissue's biological composition, it is important for a surgeon to have an instrument with an extremely sharp blade. For example, eye surgeons may need to cut a patient's cornea during various surgical procedures, e.g., a common cataract surgery. If a patient's cornea is not cut with an extremely sharp blade, then the force required to make an incision in the patient's cornea with a less than extremely sharp blade may cause the corneal surface to indent before the less tha...
