Description

1 parts
›FIG. 1 is a top, front, left side…

FIG. 1 is a top, front, left side perspective view of a suture cutter, showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a top, rear, right side perspective view of the suture cutter of FIG 1 ;

FIG. 3 is a bottom, front, left side perspective view of the suture cutter of FIG. 1 ;

FIG. 4 is a left side elevational view of the suture cutter of FIG. 1 ;

FIG. 5 is a right side elevational view of the suture cutter of FIG. 1 ;

FIG. 6 is a top plan view of the suture cutter of FIG. 1 ;

FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view of the suture cutter of FIG. 1 ;

FIG. 8 is a front elevational view of the suture cutter of FIG. 1 ;

FIG. 9 is a rear elevational view of the suture cutter of FIG. 1 ; and,

FIG. 10 is a top, front, left side perspective view of the suture cutter of FIG. 1 .

The suture cutter is shown with a symbolic break in its length in FIGS. 1-7 , and 10 . The appearance of any portion of the article between the break lines forms no part of the claimed design. All broken lines shown represent unclaimed subject matter and form no part of the claimed design; the broken lines immediately adjacent the shaded areas represent the bounds of the claimed design while all other broken lines are directed to environment and are for illustrative purposes only. Patentability is based only on those portions of the suture cutter that are shown in solid lines.
