Ruskin-Liston Bone Cutting Forceps

Description

Ruskin-Liston Bone Cutting Forceps

The Ruskin-Liston bone cutter is an 18 cm forceps with a strong, clean bite. It cuts ribs and small to medium bones with straight or curved jaws.

Strength in a mid size

The Ruskin influence adds a robust build to the Liston idea. Therefore the jaws handle firm bone without flexing. Meanwhile, the 18 cm length stays easy to control.

Straight or curved

Straight jaws suit direct cuts in open fields. By contrast, curved jaws reach around bones and into recesses. Pick the shape that suits your usual approach.

Who uses the Ruskin-Liston bone cutter

Orthopedic surgeons trim bone ends and fragments. Also, thoracic surgeons cut ribs. In addition, hand surgeons use it on metacarpals.

Cutting tips

Place the bone deep in the bite before squeezing. Then close steadily. Also, a clean, single cut reduces splintering.

Straight versus curved in practice

Straight jaws are easier to aim in open, flat access. Meanwhile, curved jaws let you cut close to a joint or behind a ridge. Therefore teams that do mixed work often stock both.
