Bone and Rib Shear spring action str 23cm

Clinical Application

Spring-action bone and rib shears are used to section ribs, trim costal cartilage, and remove small bone fragments during thoracic, trauma, and selected orthopedic procedures. The instrument provides controlled, one-handed cutting for rib resections, limited chest wall debridement, and contouring of bone edges where precision and tactile feedback are required. These shears complement power instruments by allowing fine, manual control in confined operative fields and when thermal or vibratory damage from powered devices is a concern.

Design & Configuration

The straight, spring-action configuration delivers rapid blade re-opening between cuts, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive use and enabling single-handed operation while the other hand retracts or stabilizes tissue. The shear geometry concentrates mechanical leverage at the hinge to facilitate efficient cutting of cortical and cancellous bone typically encountered in rib resection. A straight blade profile provides direct access along the plane of the rib and simplifies approach in anterior and lateral thoracic exposures.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Bone and rib shear
• Pattern / model: Spring action, straight
• Configuration: Single-handed spring-action shear
• Length: 23 cm
• Typical uses: Rib resection, chest wall trimming, removal of small bone fragments

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and repeated sterilization cycles. The spring-action mechanism is integrated into the handle design to provide consistent blade separation after each cut. Instrument surfaces are suitable for standard cleaning and high-temperature sterilization processes used in hospital and ASC sterile processing departments.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
