Amputation Knife 13cm blade

Clinical Application

Used for controlled sharp dissection during limb amputation procedures, this instrument is intended to incise skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscle layers and to shape soft-tissue flaps. The 13 cm cutting blade length gives surgeons extended reach for deeper wounds and for working around residual limb contours while maintaining tactile control. Common clinical settings include general surgery, orthopedic and vascular operating rooms and hospital limb-salvage procedures where precise soft-tissue division and flap formation are required.

Design & Configuration

The straight, elongated cutting profile provides a continuous, unobstructed edge for smooth slicing motions and controlled gross dissection. A single cutting edge and tapered geometry permit efficient advancement through soft tissue with minimal tearing, which facilitates creation of even flap edges and reduces the need for repeated passes. Blade length and balance are important for reach and maneuverability in deeper surgical sites; the 13 cm blade offers a balance between reach and hand control.
