Collin Amputating Knife

Description

Collin Amputating Knife

The Collin amputating knife covers the widest size range in this category, from 13 cm to 28 cm. So one pattern can serve digits, limbs and large flaps.

Five lengths, one pattern

The 13 cm (5 in) and 15 cm (6 in) knives suit small work near the hand and foot. In between, the 18 cm (7 in) knife handles the forearm and calf. Then the 23 cm (9 in) and 28 cm (11 in) knives reach through the thigh.

Building a set with the Collin amputating knife

Many departments stock two lengths, one short and one long, instead of a full run. That way, the same handle feel carries across every case. Tell us your usual limbs, and we can suggest a pair.

Care

Clean the blade after every case and dry it fully. Also store long blades in a guard to protect the edge.

Short, medium or long

For amputations below the elbow or knee, the 15 cm and 18 cm knives usually give enough blade. However, a thigh or upper arm needs the reach of the 23 cm or 28 cm knife. Meanwhile, the 13 cm knife suits digits and small flaps. Choose the length that crosses the limb in one stroke.
