CA 2011122

There is described a suture removing device comprising a body having a handle portion, a head portion, and a cutting edge provided in the head portion. The head portion has a leading end with a forked tip and a surface extending rearwardly of the tip to the cutting edge. The forked tip is inserted below a suture to lift the suture from the skin and pushed forwards such that the suture rides along the surface and on to the cutting edge where the suture is cut. The forked tip of the device is then placed around the suture, below the suture knot, to allow the suture to be pulled out.
