  • IV bag cutter
    Patent number: 5419044
    Abstract: A cutter useful for opening relatively thin flat packages such as IV bags has a handle and a slot which receives the marginal edge of the package. A recessed blade within the slot severs the margin of the package, the slot being sufficiently narrow as to prevent either the contents of the package or the figures of the user from accidental contact with the blade.
