Clinical Application
Angled Liston bone-cutting forceps are designed to deliver controlled shearing and removal of small-to-medium bone segments and cortical fragments. They are commonly used in orthopedic and trauma procedures, podiatry, and oral/maxillofacial surgery for tasks such as trimming bone edges, removing sequestra, and isolating bone fragments during debridement or fixation preparation. The angled profile helps access bone in confined or deep operative fields where a straight instrument would limit line of sight or approach.
Design & Configuration
The angled beak-style jaws concentrate cutting force at the tip for efficient shearing of cortical bone while minimizing transmitted motion to surrounding soft tissue. The 17 cm overall length balances reach and tactile control, allowing the surgeon to work in deeper pockets with preserved dexterity. Robust hinge geometry provides stable alignment of the jaws for repeatable, precise cuts; the angled shaft improves visualization and hand clearance when working around implants or dressings.
