Abstract
A surgical knife cleaner and, more particularly, a cleaner for a cautery knife used to clean and cauterize incisions and wounds. A readily attachable base has a cradle to retain a closely coiled strand on an axis parallel to the base. The cradle has edges to limit the introduction of the knife in the direction transverse to the axis of the coil and to clean the edge of the knife.
