A set of 4 or 5 folding multi - tool knives, all stainless steel, sterilizable by boiling,with a varied assortment. Number 1 would have a holder for disposable scalpel blade, scissors, probe and so forth; 2 and 3 would have hemostats and accessory tools, 4 and 5 would duplicate some functions and add a set of dental picks, suturing tools, etc.

       [21] You have identified several reasons why this is impractical, for both the surgeon and the patient, and why such a tool could potentially even injure the surgeon. Yet you seem to have given it a [-].....you are an enigma.

       // as you were. //
