Brunner Rib Shear for left hand 32cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled sectioning of ribs and rib segments during thoracic and chest wall procedures. The instrument is used to remove portions of the rib to improve exposure for thoracotomy, pulmonary resection, mediastinal access, trauma-related rib management, and select reconstructive procedures where precise rib trimming is required. The left-hand orientation supports ergonomic use by left-handed surgeons and facilitates reach and hand positioning when working on the patient's left hemithorax.

Design & Configuration

The Brunner-style geometry combines long reach with a robust shearing jaw profile to deliver strong cutting force while maintaining tactile control in deep or confined operative fields. At 32 cm, the length provides additional reach from the incision to deeper rib segments without excessive hand intrusion into the wound. The left-hand configuration offsets the handle and blade alignment to produce a naturally directed cutting motion for left-handed operators or for specific approach angles on the left side of the chest, improving ergonomics and precision in tight intercostal spaces.
