Collin Operating Knife Fig.5

Clinical Application

Designed for procedures that require precise, controlled cutting of soft tissue — including skin incisions, mucosal entry, and fine dissection of superficial planes. The instrument is suited to general surgery, ENT, plastic and reconstructive procedures, and any operative setting where a small, responsive cutting instrument is required to establish or extend an incision with tactile feedback and directional control.

Design & Configuration

The Collin Fig.5 pattern provides a compact handheld configuration that prioritizes control and blade-tip accuracy. The geometry of the Fig.5 pattern is intended to facilitate a defined point of entry and a short, sharp cutting edge for predictable incision start and extension. A balanced handle and narrow profile improve fingertip control for delicate maneuvers and confined operative fields.
