Collin Rib Shear 19cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for controlled resection and contouring of ribs during thoracic procedures where segmental rib removal or trimming is required for exposure, tumor extirpation, reconstructive chest‑wall repair, or access for intrathoracic instrumentation. The shearing action enables precise cuts of cortical rib while allowing the surgeon to control cut depth and direction at the operative field.

Design & Configuration

The scissor‑style shearing blades provide direct shearing force across the rib, giving tactile feedback and mechanical advantage for clean, controlled transections. At 19 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach and control for procedures in the intercostal space, permitting work close to the chest wall without excessive instrument bulk. Blade alignment and cutting geometry are optimized to deliver a consistent shearing action that reduces the need for repeated sawing motions.
