Gluck Bone and Rib Shear

Description

Gluck Bone and Rib Shear

The Gluck rib shear handles small rib and bone cuts at close range. Order it in a 22 cm or a slightly longer 23 cm size.

A compact bone cutter

Surgeons often need a short, strong cut rather than long reach. This shear fits that job, since its length keeps control near the hand. Also, it takes little room on a tray.

Common tasks

Typical uses include trimming a rib end or taking a small rib segment. For example, surgeons may tidy bone edges before closing a thoracotomy. Then the chest wall comes together more neatly.

Gluck or Collin?

Both patterns share a similar compact length. So the choice often comes down to what the surgeon trained with. In that case, stock the Gluck rib shear if your surgeons already know and trust it.

Ordering notes

Order the 22 cm size for the tightest trays. Alternatively, pick 23 cm for a little more leverage. Both sizes suit general thoracic sets. Also, a matched pair of lengths helps when a case moves deeper than planned.

Cleaning Gluck rib shear

Rinse off blood and bone chips before they harden. Next, clean each edge with a brush, working away from the pivot. Keep it in a padded slot once it is fully dry.
