Liston Key/ Horsley Bone Cutt. Fcps 27cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled sectioning of small-to-medium cortical bone, this style of bone cutting forceps is used where precise bites and reliable cutting power are required. Common applications include osteotomies, removal of bone spurs, transmetatarsal and other podiatric procedures, open fracture debridement, and portions of cranial bone work where discrete cuts or morsellations are needed.

Design & Configuration

The scissor-style, hand-held configuration concentrates manual force at the beak-shaped jaws to produce a clean, mechanical cut rather than crushing. The beak geometry provides secure seating on cortical surfaces and helps prevent slippage during bites. At 27 cm overall length, the instrument offers reach into deeper wounds or around soft-tissue envelopes while preserving tactile control for the surgeon.
