Liston Amputation knife 17cm blade

Clinical Application

Designed for use in major limb amputation procedures, this instrument provides a long, continuous cutting surface for controlled division of skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscle. It is commonly employed by orthopedic, vascular and trauma surgeons for creating primary incisions and developing flaps during below- and above-knee procedures and other soft-tissue amputations where a single, smooth transection is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight, broad single-edged geometry delivers a long, uninterrupted cutting edge that permits smooth, continuous strokes and predictable tissue planes. The length of the blade supports deep, long incisions without repeated repositioning, improving efficiency and allowing the surgeon to maintain a consistent angle and tactile feedback throughout the cut. A robust spine and balanced handle-to-blade relationship provide control for both precise superficial work and more forceful tissue division.
