Liston-Key Horsley Bone Cutting Forceps

Description

Liston-Key Horsley Bone Cutting Forceps

The Liston-Key Horsley forceps is a heavy, 28 cm bone cutter with straight jaws. It handles dense bone and ribs with strong leverage.

Built for heavy work

Long handles act as levers on the jaws. Therefore thick bone yields with fewer efforts. Furthermore, the robust jaws resist flexing.

Straight jaws

Straight jaws cut directly in line with the handles. As a result, the surgeon can aim by sighting along the instrument. Additionally, that helps in open fields.

Who uses Liston-Key Horsley forceps

Thoracic surgeons use them on ribs. Also, orthopedic surgeons use them during amputations and resections. Besides, they suit large bones.

Using it well

Load the bone near the pivot, where leverage peaks. Afterward, close the handles smoothly. Keep soft tissue clear of the jaws.

When to use heavy cutters

Heavy cutters suit thick ribs, large bones and amputation work. However, they are too bulky for small bones. Therefore keep a lighter cutter nearby for fine trimming.
