Brunner Rib Shear for right hand 32cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled resection and osteotomy of ribs during open thoracic procedures. Common clinical uses include rib removal for chest wall tumor exposure, traumatic rib fragment resection, costal cartilage excision for access, and other procedures requiring precise, forceful cutting of cortical bone for improved exposure of the pleural cavity.

Design & Configuration

The right-hand configuration orients the handles and cutting geometry to favor a right-handed operator working from the patient’s left or at specific angles where a right-handed grip provides optimal access. At 32 cm overall length, the instrument provides extended reach into the thoracic field while preserving mechanical advantage and control. The shearing jaw geometry concentrates cutting force on the rib to enable smooth, controlled bone transection while minimizing collateral soft-tissue disruption; robust handles and leverage reduce hand fatigue during repeated cuts.
