Clinical Application
Liston bone-cutting forceps in a straight configuration are designed to bite through and remove small-to-medium cortical bone segments, bone spicules, and thin osseous plates encountered in orthopedics, trauma, podiatry, and oral/maxillofacial surgery. The instrument is used for controlled bone resection, trimming sharp edges after osteotomy, and extracting small bone fragments during debridement or revision procedures.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry provides direct-line access to bone surfaces in both superficial and moderately deep operative fields. Robust, short jaws concentrate operator force at the cutting edge for efficient bone division with minimal slippage. A reinforced hinge/box-lock and ergonomically shaped handles deliver the mechanical advantage and tactile control surgeons require when working on dense cortical bone. The straight blade profile facilitates precise, perpendicular cuts and controlled fragment removal in confined anatomical spaces.
