RI-000095 Surgical tools called blunt blades are made with a rounded or flattened tip rather than a sharp point. Without cutting or harming the delicate tissues, they are employed during surgical procedures to spread, raise, or manipulate them. In treatments like plastic surgery where delicate tissues like skin or fat need to be lifted or separated without inflicting trauma or harm, blunt blades are frequently employed. In orthopaedic treatments like joint replacement or fracture repair, they are also utilised to manipulate bones and tissues.
