Description
Coryllos Bone and Rib Shear
The Coryllos rib shear brings extra length to rib and bone cuts in the chest. At 35 or 36 cm, it reaches ribs that sit deep in a large wound.
Why length matters
Deep in a thoracotomy, a short shear forces the hand into the field. However, a long pattern keeps the knuckles outside the wound edge. As a result, the surgeon keeps a clearer view of the cut.
Leverage for thick bone
A longer instrument multiplies the force of each squeeze. So thicker ribs part with less effort from the hand. Plus, steady pressure tends to leave a neater bone end.
Where the Coryllos fits
Thoracic teams keep the Coryllos rib shear for resections in large adults and deep approaches. Meanwhile, shorter shears handle routine trimming. Many sets carry both lengths.
Space on the tray
A 35 cm instrument needs a full-length container or basket. Then it lies flat without pressing on smaller tools. Also, check your sterilization tray dimensions before ordering.
Reprocessing Coryllos rib shear
Clean the long blades from pivot to tip while still wet. Because the joint sits far from the tip, flush it well with water. Then dry the shear fully and lay it flat in a long tray.
