Abstract
A cutting instrument especially adapted for surgical procedures that includes structure for readily determining the cutting depth of the blade of the instrument. The structure includes a longitudinally moveable slide that carries a depth-determining shoe at its outer end. The longitudinal position of the slide is controlled by a rotatable ferule mounted on the handle of the instrument. The construction is particularly adapted for disposable, single-use instruments.
