Clinical Application
This long-blade amputation knife is intended for the controlled division of skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia and muscle during limb amputation procedures. The 22 cm cutting edge provides reach and continuous cutting length useful in adult extremity amputations, guillotine amputations, and staged procedures where a long, single-pass incision is preferred to minimize repeated tissue handling.
Design & Configuration
The extended-length blade offers a continuous cutting surface that allows the surgeon to perform smooth, controlled sagittal or circumferential incisions around a limb. A single-edged, tapering profile concentrates cutting force at the edge for precise dissection with fewer passes, which can reduce tissue fraying and procedural time. The handle geometry is configured for secure manual control and reliable transfer of force along the blade during deep or wide incisions.
