Littauer-Liston Bone Cutting Forceps

Description

Littauer-Liston Bone Cutting Forceps

At 15 cm, the Littauer-Liston bone cutter pairs compact size with straight jaws. It cuts small bones and trims fragments with a clean, square bite.

Straight and simple

Because the jaws continue the line of the handles, you can aim by sighting along the instrument. Therefore placement feels natural. That makes it easy to use in open fields.

Compact length

At 15 cm, the forceps fits small exposures well. Meanwhile, the handles still give enough leverage for small bones. It feels light in the hand.

Who uses the Littauer-Liston bone cutter

Small-bone surgeons reach for it on toes and fingers. Also, plastic surgeons use it during digit procedures. It suits trimming of graft pieces too.

Getting a clean cut

Push the bone well back toward the pivot before closing. Then squeeze firmly in one motion. That gives the cleanest cut edge.

A light, quick cutter

Because it is light, the Littauer-Liston is easy to pick up and put down during a case. Moreover, its straight jaws need no special orientation. Therefore it works well as a general small-bone cutter.
