Microkeratome cutting-head for use with a single-bevel cutting-blade assembly

摘要

A cutting-head 46 for a microkeratome includes a slot 48 for holding a single-bevel cutting-blade assembly 20 . The slot 48 is oriented so that the single-bevel cutting-blade assembly 20 will be positioned to have a shear-face angle 44 and a blade-edge point 32 approximately the same as those for a multi-beveled cutting-blade assembly.
