Coryllos Rib Shear 35cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled transection of ribs during open thoracic procedures, the instrument provides reliable bone cutting for thoracotomy, chest wall resection, tumor exposure and traumatic rib management. Its long reach allows surgeons to cut ribs deep in the hemithorax or at the costal angle while maintaining a clear line of sight and instrument control. Using a dedicated rib shear reduces the need for repeated cutting attempts and helps limit splintering and sharp fragments near the surgical field.

Design & Configuration

The shear-style cutting head converts applied hand force into a shearing action across robust blades, delivering clean, controlled transection of cortical bone. A long 35 cm shaft gives necessary reach for posterolateral and apical exposures without requiring excessive retraction. The handpiece geometry is intended to provide ergonomic leverage for single-handed or two-handed use, permitting precise placement of the jaws around the rib and progressive cutting with minimal bone fragmentation.
