I'm not allowed to have sharp things. It's a hospital rule.

Right, so the sharp piece is protected inside the "box". Therefore you must have to push whatever you are cutting through the rectangular orifice. And whatever you are cutting is likely to be rectangular.

Its easier than you think. French bread, yes, But its used as a tool on all sorts of bread. The technical name is French. I wouldn't expect anyone to know that name since I didn't before I acquired the gadget! But it can be described very simply...
