Clinical Application
Angled Liston-style bone-cutting forceps are used to section cortical bone in orthopedics, trauma, amputations and selected podiatric procedures. The angled jaw orientation facilitates access to bones in confined or deep surgical sites and on curved surfaces (for example, posterior femur, distal tibia, clavicle or metatarsal work), allowing controlled, perpendicular cutting strokes while preserving surrounding soft tissue. These forceps are intended for direct bone removal or for division of small-to-medium bone segments during osteotomy and debridement procedures.
Design & Configuration
The angled beak geometry reorients the cutting plane so the surgeon can approach the bone from an oblique trajectory without contorting the wrist or retracting soft tissue excessively. Broad, strong jaws concentrate cutting force at the tip for efficient cortical engagement and reduce the tendency to crush or splinter bone when used with appropriate technique. Long, ergonomic handles provide mechanical advantage for single-handed operation and precise control during progressive bites.
Instrument Specifications

Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with precision-machined cutting surfaces to maintain strength and edge geometry under heavy use. The instrument is designed for reusable clinical service and is compatible with standard hospital sterilization cycles. Construction emphasizes durability and a stable hinge to preserve alignment of the cutting jaws over time.
