A surgical instrument or cutting tool designed specifically for making incisions in or cutting through skin tissue during medical procedures.
From Latin cutis (skin) plus -sector (something that cuts), from secare (to cut). This medical instrument term follows the classical medical naming convention combining anatomical terms with action verbs.
A cutisector is essentially a specialized scalpel designed for skin—surgeons have different cutting tools for skin versus muscle versus bone, because each tissue requires a different blade angle and sharpness!
