Description

Sklar's Stille-Horsley Bone Cutting Forceps are an orthopedic instrument often used to cut rib bones. It is a double-action instrument that provides greater pressure on the bones without as much effort by the user. The plier handle curves slightly at the joints, and then again, more strongly and in the opposite direction, at the jaws. This double curvature allows the instrument to be used in tight areas. The jaws of the forceps have sharp blades that square when closed. The horned plier handle provides the user with thumb and finger rests for a more comfortable and controlling grip. The overall length of this product is 10-1/2 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Does the double-action mechanism improve cutting efficiency?

Yes, the double-action mechanism is specifically engineered to significantly increase the cutting force applied to the bone. This design ensures that you can achieve precise cuts while minimizing the physical exertion and effort required during the procedure.

Is this instrument suitable for tight surgical spaces?

Absolutely. The forceps feature an angled design with double curvature—a slight curve near the joints combined with an opposite curve toward the jaws. This specific geometry is designed to facilitate effective use in restricted or deep anatomical areas where direct access may be limited.

How does the handle design support surgical control?

This instrument utilizes a horned plier handle configuration. It includes dedicated thumb and finger rests, which are engineered to provide a more ergonomic, highly controlled grip for the operator throughout the procedure.

What is the primary material used for durability?

The Stille-Horsley Bone Cutting Forceps are constructed from high-grade stainless steel. This material choice ensures the durability and resilience required for a reusable surgical instrument, allowing it to withstand repeated sterilization cycles without compromising performance.

Are these forceps safe for users with latex allergies?

Yes. This instrument is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe option for medical environments where latex sensitivity is a concern for staff or patients.

What is the total length of this instrument?

The Sklar Stille-Horsley Bone Cutting Forceps have an overall length of 10-1/2 inches (10.5 inches), providing the leverage and reach necessary for orthopedic rib resection procedures.

Do the jaws require special handling for precision?

The working end features sharp, precise blades designed to close squarely when engaged. This ensures a flush, clean cut, which is essential for the accuracy required during orthopedic bone cutting.

Is this product compliant with manufacturing standards?

Yes, this instrument is TAA Compliant. It is manufactured as a factory-new surgical tool meeting the rigorous quality standards expected for orthopedic and surgical equipment.

How should this instrument be prepared for first use?

This product ships non-sterile. Prior to its first use in a surgical setting, it must undergo your facility’s standard sterilization protocols for reusable stainless steel orthopedic instruments.

Is this instrument a good choice for rib resection?

Yes, these forceps are specifically designed for procedures requiring precise bone cutting, such as rib resection. Their combination of leverage (double-action), reach (angled design), and grip (horned handle) makes them an ideal choice for this specific surgical application.
