Abstract
To provide a surgical instrument for performing incision that enables surgery to be performed safely and easily, with minimal invasiveness and a reduced risk of damaging a tissue, such as a tendon, nerve, or blood vessel. This surgical instrument enables a tendon sheath and an aponeurotic membrane to be incised safely without significantly incising the skin or subcutaneous tissue, and makes it possible to conduct surgery percutaneously at an extremely low level of invasion.
