Kleinert-Kutz Bone Cutting Forceps
The Kleinert-Kutz bone cutter is a fine, 15 cm forceps from the world of hand surgery. It cuts small bones cleanly in tight spaces.
Hand surgery roots
Harold Kleinert and Joseph Kutz founded a well-known hand surgery practice in Louisville. Instruments with their names reflect that fine work. Moreover, this cutter is slim and precise.
Straight or curved
With straight jaws, the bite follows the axis of the forceps. Curved jaws, on the other hand, wrap around slender bones. Either version measures 15 cm.
Who uses the Kleinert-Kutz bone cutter
Its main home is the hand tray, beside fine rongeurs and wires. Also, it serves podiatric teams well. In addition, it suits replantation and digit work.
Fine technique
Place small bones well into the jaws. Then squeeze gently but firmly. Fine bones crack easily, so control matters.
Protecting tendons and nerves
In the hand, tendons and nerves lie close to bone. Consequently, fine jaws help the surgeon cut only bone. Moreover, a slim profile keeps retraction to a minimum.

Care
