Abstract
A machine for detaching a surgical blade from a continuous strip in which it is manufactured and presenting the blade to a position for assembly into a blade holder. The disclosed embodiment of the invention is designed for use with a continuous strip of material which has blades formed integrally along an edge thereof, and joined thereto by pre-scored lines. The machine breaks the connection between an individual blade and the strip along the pre-scored lines while grasping the blade, and then moves the separated blade to a pre-determined position for assembly with a blade holder.
