Walton-Liston Bone Cutting Forceps
The Walton-Liston bone cutter is a compact, 15 cm cutting forceps. It trims small bones and fragments with a clean, controlled bite.
Compact and precise
A 15 cm body keeps the jaws close to the hand. Therefore the surgeon can place each cut exactly. Also, that precision suits hand, foot and facial work.
Straight or curved
Straight jaws cut in line with the handles. Meanwhile, curved jaws reach around corners and into small recesses. Both share the same 15 cm length.
Who uses the Walton-Liston bone cutter
Hand surgeons trim phalanges and metacarpals. Also, foot surgeons use it on toes and small joints. In addition, facial surgeons use it on thin bone.
Cutting technique
Position the jaws so the bone sits deep in the bite. Then squeeze steadily rather than snapping shut. As a result, the cut edge stays clean.
Why compact cutters help
Large cutters can block the view in a small wound. In contrast, this 15 cm forceps leaves the field open. As a result, the surgeon sees exactly where the jaws will close.
