Coryllos Rib Shear 35cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for controlled division of ribs and costal cartilage to provide surgical access to the thoracic cavity. Commonly used in open thoracotomy, chest wall resection, trauma-related rib removal, and procedures requiring limited segmental rib resection or exposure of intrathoracic structures. The 35 cm length provides the reach needed for adult thoracic procedures while allowing the operator to maintain control and minimize unnecessary manipulation of surrounding tissues.

Design & Configuration

The shear configuration delivers a scissor-like cutting action optimized for bone and cartilage. The long 35 cm overall length affords additional reach and leverage for working across the chest wall without excessive force at the hands. Precision-mated blades and a robust hinge/stress-bearing area produce a clean shearing cut to reduce splintering of rib fragments and to facilitate smooth, atraumatic division of costal cartilage. A balanced handle geometry improves control when applying the force required for cortical bone and dense cartilage.
