A surgical clipper blade assembly includes a stationary blade and a moveable blade adjacent the stationary blade. The moveable blade is configured to reciprocate relative to the stationary blade to remove hair from a skin area. A blade housing houses the stationary blade and the moveable blade. The blade housing has a guide surface that faces the skin area during a hair removal process. A skin conditioning member in the form of a pad that extends along at least one of a skin facing surface of the stationary blade and the guide surface of the blade housing. The skin conditioning member includes a skin preparation composition. Reciprocating motion of the moveable blade vibrates the skin conditioning member against the skin area as the skin preparation composition is released onto the skin area.

Surgical clipper blade assemblies including surgical clipper blades with skin preparation composition

A surgical hair clipper assembly includes a clipper body and a blade assembly connected to the clipper body. The blade assembly includes a moveable blade configured to reciprocate to remove hair from a skin area and a blade housing that houses the moveable blade. The blade housing has a guide surface that faces the skin area during a hair removal process. A suction attachment includes a clipper attachment connected to the clipper body and a nozzle structure connected to the clipper attachment and extending distally to an end. The end is located no more than about ten millimeters proximal of a plane defined by the guide surface.

Suction attachments for surgical hair clippers and methods of using such suction attachments

A surgical hair clipper includes a clipper body and a blade assembly connected to the clipper body. The blade assembly includes a moveable blade configured to reciprocate to remove hair from a skin area and a blade housing that houses the moveable blade. The blade housing has a guide surface that faces the skin area during a hair removal process. A touch sensor is exposed at the guide surface for contact with the skin area during use. A processor receives a signal from the touch sensor when the touch sensor contacts the skin area. The processor uses logic saved in a memory to instruct a feedback device to provide an indication of skin contact between the touch sensor and the skin area.
