Amputation Knife 19cm blade

Clinical Application

Designed for operative amputation and disarticulation procedures, this instrument is intended for controlled sharp dissection of skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia and muscle to create a suitable soft-tissue envelope and stump. It is used in elective, traumatic and emergency amputations where a long, smooth cutting stroke is required for efficient soft-tissue division and contouring prior to stump revision or closure.

Design & Configuration

The extended 19 cm blade provides reach and a long, continuous cutting surface that facilitates smooth, single-stroke incisions and controlled tissue trimming. A single-edged geometry concentrates cutting force at the bevel for efficient sharp dissection, while the long blade length helps the surgeon maintain consistent planes during circumferential cuts and flap creation. The overall balance and profile support accurate, deliberate strokes when shaping soft tissue around bone and residual limb structures.
