Clinical Application
Angled Liston bone cutting forceps are used to transect small- to medium-sized bone segments during orthopedic and trauma procedures. The instrument is suitable for controlled bone removal in amputations, osteotomies, wound debridement involving bone, and situations where precise, high‑force cuts are required in confined or deep surgical sites. The angled jaw geometry helps maintain line-of-sight while delivering a perpendicular cutting action to the bone surface, improving control and reducing unintended bone splintering.
Design & Configuration
The scissor-like handle with a strong hinge provides mechanical advantage for concentrated cutting force. The angled jaw configuration places the cutting surfaces in better alignment for use in narrow operative fields or around soft‑tissue flaps, allowing the surgeon to reach bone surfaces without excessive retraction. Heavy-duty cutting edges are designed to concentrate force at the contact line for efficient transection with a single controlled motion.
