Gluck Rib Shear 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled transection and resection of ribs and costal cartilage during thoracic procedures, chest-wall tumor excision, trauma management and reconstructive surgeries. The instrument enables precise, single-step shearing of cortical bone and cartilage where a clean, controlled cut is required to gain access or to remove a segment of rib.

Design & Configuration

The shear configuration uses a two-blade shearing action that concentrates force at the cutting edge for efficient rib transection while minimizing the need for repeated passes. At 19 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach and tactile control for use in confined thoracic fields. The short-to-medium length improves maneuverability around ribs and intercostal structures, facilitating accurate placement and controlled cuts without excessive leverage or bulk.
