In the Past

The traditional design of the medical shaver blade involves a wire-cut processing technique, which employs high-temperature carbonation for operation. This approach yields a surface texture that is notably coarse. Under a 50x magnification, evident micro serrations become apparent, signaling its limitations in achieving smoothness. Unfortunately, this design also suffers from subpar edge sharpness. The cutting process tends to generate excess heat, exacerbating the risk of inadvertently drawing tissue along with fractures. Despite these drawbacks, it’s noteworthy that this approach is relatively economical.

Furthermore, the traditional structure is realized through direct mold completion. However, this method gives rise to a challenge in maintaining precise clearances between the inner and outer blades. The available clearance margin spans from 0.075 to 0.110 units. Regrettably, due to the inherent limitations of mold processing, achieving a higher level of accuracy remains elusive. Consequently, this design results in a substantial gap between the inner and outer blade sections. In surgical contexts, this gap heightens the probability of unintentionally engaging with and displacing surrounding tissue during cutting. Moreover, residual materials from the mold manufacturing process may persist during surgery, introducing additional complications.

In light of these considerations, traditional medical shaver blade design carries inherent shortcomings that impact both performance and procedural outcomes.
