Clinical Application
Angled Liston bone-cutting forceps are used to section cortical and cancellous bone during orthopedic, trauma and podiatric procedures. The angled jaw geometry facilitates bone resections, osteotomies, removal of sequestra and trimming of bone edges in confined or deep surgical fields where a straight instrument would be awkward. This pattern is intended for controlled single-handed cuts of small-to-medium bone segments and fragment management during open procedures.
Design & Configuration
The distal angulation of the jaws permits an improved approach trajectory to bone surfaces beneath soft-tissue flaps or within narrow wound corridors, reducing the need for excessive retraction. Robust, thick cutting blades concentrate cutting force at the bite, enabling efficient sectioning while maintaining control. A strong hinge mechanism ensures alignment of the jaws under load and predictable cutting performance over repeated use.
