Description

McIndoe Bone Cutting Forceps

McIndoe bone cutting forceps measure 18 cm and have curved jaws. They trim bone with control in plastic, hand and orthopedic surgery.

A plastic surgery name

Archibald McIndoe was a pioneer of reconstructive plastic surgery. Several instruments carry the name, including this cutter. Moreover, it reflects the need for precise bone work.

Curved jaws

The curved jaws reach around bone and into recesses. Therefore they give a good view of the cut. The 18 cm length adds reach.

Who uses McIndoe bone cutting forceps

Plastic and hand surgeons use them during reconstruction. Also, orthopedic surgeons trim bone ends with them. They suit facial bone work too.

Technique

Seat the bone deep in the jaws. Then close with steady force. Clear fragments before the next cut.

Shaping graft and bone

Reconstructive work often needs graft pieces trimmed to size. Consequently, a curved cutter helps shape corners and edges. Moreover, it can tidy bone ends before closure.
