Bone Cutting Forceps

Description

Bone Cutting Forceps

These small bone cutting forceps measure 13 cm and have curved jaws. They trim fine bones and fragments in tight spaces.

Small and curved

The short body keeps the jaws close to the hand. Meanwhile, the curved jaws reach around bone edges. Together, these features suit fine work.

Where they fit

Hand and foot surgeons trim small bones with them. Also, oral and facial surgeons use them on thin bone. They suit pediatric cases too.

Using small bone cutting forceps

Fit the bone into the curve of the jaws. Then squeeze firmly but gently. Remove fragments promptly.

Tray planning

Keep these alongside a larger cutter. Then the surgeon can switch sizes as needed. Additionally, that pairing covers small and medium bones.

Why a short cutter helps

In small wounds, long handles can bump into retractors and drapes. In contrast, a 13 cm cutter stays out of the way. As a result, the surgeon keeps a clear line of sight.
