Description
Cleveland-Gardner Bone Cutting Forceps
Small bones are the focus of the Cleveland-Gardner bone cutter, a 15 cm forceps. It combines features of the Cleveland and Gardner patterns in one tool.
Compact strength
Despite its size, the forceps cuts firmly. Therefore it handles small bones and fragments with ease. The short body also keeps the jaws precise.
Where it fits
Hand and foot surgeons use it on phalanges and small joints. Also, oral and facial surgeons trim thin bone with it. It suits pediatric cases as well.
Using the Cleveland-Gardner bone cutter
Rest the bone near the base of the jaws. Next, apply even hand pressure until it parts. Remove the fragment before the next bite.
Pairing with others
Many trays carry it with a larger Liston cutter. Then the surgeon picks the size that suits each bone. That pairing covers most cases.
Fine bone and pediatric use
Children’s bones are softer and smaller than adult bone. So a compact cutter gives enough force without overwhelming the field. Moreover, it lets the surgeon trim just the bone that must go.
