Semb Bone Cutting Forceps

Description

Semb Bone Cutting Forceps

Semb bone cutting forceps are a 23 cm cutter with curved jaws. Thoracic surgeons know the Semb name well, and this cutter suits rib work.

A thoracic pattern

Carl Semb was a pioneer of chest surgery. Instruments bearing the Semb name focus on safe access to the ribs and chest wall. These forceps follow that purpose.

Curved jaws

Because the jaws curve, they reach around a rib or bone edge. Therefore the surgeon can cut close to the spine or sternum. In addition, the long handles add leverage.

Who uses Semb bone cutting forceps

Thoracic surgeons use them for rib resection. Also, orthopedic surgeons use them on the clavicle and pelvis. Besides, they suit any firm, curved bone.

Tips

Before closing, check what lies beneath the rib. If needed, protect it with a lever. Then close the handles until the bone divides.

Cutting close to the spine

Rib resections sometimes extend toward the back of the chest. In that case, curved jaws help the surgeon reach the right spot. Moreover, the long handles keep force under control.
