Böhler Bone Cutting Forceps, Multiple Action

Description

Böhler Bone Cutting Forceps, Multiple Action

Böhler bone cutting forceps pair sharp shearing blades with a multiple-action joint. The extra links multiply the force from your hand. So this 15 cm cutter goes through dense bone that a simple cutter would struggle with.

How multiple action works

A simple cutter has one hinge. This one has extra pivots between the handles and the blades. As a result, a normal squeeze turns into a much stronger cut at the tip, with less strain on the hand.

Why it matters in practice

Hard cortical bone resists a simple cutter. Therefore, surgeons often pick a compound joint for that bone, because it cuts in one smooth stroke. That also lowers the chance of crushing or splintering the edge.

Where it is used

• Cutting dense bone in oral and facial surgery
• Trimming bone grafts to size
• Removing bony spurs flush with the surface
• Small-bone work in hand and foot surgery

Handling tips

Seat the blades fully, then close in one controlled motion. Because the joint gives so much force, start gently on thin bone. Also keep soft tissue clear of the blades.

Choosing between cutters

Pick this Böhler for dense or thick bone. For thin bone, a simple cutter like the Liston is lighter and quicker. Many teams keep both, so the right force is always to hand.

Looking after the joint

The extra pivots trap debris. So flush and brush every joint after use. Then dry them fully and add lubricant at each pivot before sterilization.

This cutter ships non-sterile and may be reused after proper cleaning and sterilization. The alloy meets ASTM F899 for surgical stainless. Every Böhler cutter carries three years against manufacturing defects, Böhler pivots included. When you need a smaller simple cutter, see the Liston bone cutting forceps.
