Electric Razor
Proves Useful
In Eye Surgery

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. o
(AP).-Medical science has
found a use for the electric
razor in eye surgery.
DR.. Byron Smith of New
York said a variation of the
electric razor is used in sur
gerry of the eye where the
mucous membranes have been
destroyed by accident or
disease.
The medical razor, he said, is
called mucotome and was
developed by DR.. Ramon Cas-
troViejo Of New York.
DR.. Smith explained the mu-
cotome, which resembles a
woman'S electric razor, uses
regular commercial blades in a
special attachment.
He said the surgeon shaves
on a thin, almost transparent,
silver of skin from inside the
lip and gratis it over the eye
window. This skin maintains
its moiStness and keeps the
eyelid from sticking to the eye
ball. He said ordinary skin,
such as from the arm, is of a
different type and could not be
used for eye gratis.
Before the invention of the
mucotome, DR.. Smith said, skin
cut from inside the lip was too
thick.
DR.. Smith addressed the New
Orleans Academy of Ophthal.
mology yesterday. .,
