Bone and Rib Shear 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled transection of ribs and small sections of bone during thoracic, trauma and select orthopedic procedures. The instrument provides precise, single‑handed cutting for tasks such as rib resection, chest wall exposure during thoracotomy, removal of small bone spurs, and intraoperative contouring of bone edges where a compact, high‑leverage cutter is required. Its 22 cm length balances reach into the thoracic cavity with tactile control at the jaw.

Design & Configuration

Scissor‑style geometry delivers mechanical advantage for cutting through cortical bone and costal cartilage while maintaining surgeon control. The compact 22 cm profile affords access in confined operative fields and helps minimize collateral soft tissue retraction. Robust jaw geometry is intended to provide a secure purchase on bone during transection, reducing slippage and the need for repeated passes.
