The document compares Acucut knives manufactured using electroetching technology to grinded knives manufactured using conventional grinding processes. It states that electroetching improves the surface chemistry and microstructure of stainless steel, leaving a smooth, scratch-free surface and precise edges. In contrast, grinding can introduce surface scratches and uneven, rough edges. The document lists several advantages of Acucut knives over grinded knives such as more accurate incisions, tighter wound sealing, higher sharpness and consistency, and better wound healing.

Not only does it remove embedded
particles and inclusions, it also improves
the atomic ratios, leaving a
microscopically smooth surface &
edges.
