Abstract
A combination suture cutting and removing instrument comprising an elongate handle with a head portion extending longitudinally outward from one end thereof. The head portion is curved in a generally crescent configuration with a flat end. A suture cutter blade is positioned across the concave portion of the head and terminates slightly before the flat end which is provided with a 'V' shaped notch whereby the flat end may be slipped under the suture to bring the cutter into cutting engagement therewith. After the suture is cut, the 'V' shaped notch is positioned around the suture beneath the knot so that upward motion will engage the knot and remove the suture.
