Surgical Shears 30.5 cm (12)

Precision Thoracic Access: 14 1/4″ Coryllos Bethune Rib Shears for Controlled Resection

Thoracic surgical procedures demand instruments that combine robust cutting power with precise control to minimize tissue trauma and optimize patient outcomes. The challenge often lies in achieving clean, controlled rib resection and cartilage division, particularly in deep or confined surgical fields, without compromising surrounding structures. The 14 1/4″ Coryllos Bethune Rib Shears, specifically designed with a left-oriented blade, address this critical need. Engineered for superior leverage and ergonomic handling, these shears facilitate efficient and accurate bone and cartilage cutting, enhancing surgical efficiency and contributing to safer, more predictable thoracic interventions.

Use Cases

• Controlled division of ribs during thoracotomy or sternotomy procedures.
• Precise resection of costal cartilage for access or reconstruction.
• Efficient cutting of fibrous tissue and periosteum adjacent to ribs.
• Facilitating access to the thoracic cavity with minimal effort and maximum control.
• Specific application for left-sided anatomical approaches requiring a left-oriented blade.
