Description

Joseph Angled Button End Knife is a long, narrow instrument with a curved working end and a small rounded button tip. It measures 17.5 cm (7″) and has a broad, flat handle that gives the hand a good surface to hold while guiding the tip. The overall shape is suited to work where the instrument needs to reach around tissue from an angle.

The shaft stays mostly straight before bending upward near the end. This bend changes the position of the tip without changing the position of the handle very much. It can make it easier to approach tissue from above or around an edge, especially when a straight instrument would be difficult to position.
The button end is smooth and rounded rather than pointed. This gives the working end a blunt contact surface for moving along or separating tissue. The narrow shaft also leaves more room around the tip, which can be helpful when working in a small surgical area and trying to keep the instrument from blocking the view.

At 17.5 cm (7″) long, the instrument provides more reach than a short-handled tissue tool while still remaining easy to control. The handle is wider than the shaft and has a smooth, slightly curved surface for a steady grip. The long shaft lets the user keep the hand farther back while making small adjustments at the working end.

The metal construction is designed for routine surgical use and can be maintained through normal cleaning and sterilization procedures. Before use, the button tip should be checked to make sure it remains smooth and properly shaped. The shaft and handle should also be inspected for dents, rough areas, or other damage that could affect handling.

For procedures where an angled, blunt working end is useful, Joseph Angled Button End Knife provides a simple design with plenty of reach. Its 17.5 cm (7″) length, narrow shaft, upward-curved end, and rounded button tip make it easy to position and guide when working around tissue.
