A cutting device with an extremely sharp cutting edge that is inserted into a reusable razor and provides the cutting edge. It comes in various designs, traditionally with two cutting edges (one on either side of the blade's width). Though this device is reusable and designed to be used until blunted, it would be for single-patient use only to reduce the risk of cross-infection. Some types can be purposely used for breaking into smaller segments to be used like a scalpel to cut tissue, e.g., during certain ophthalmologic surgical procedures. This is a reusable device.
