Description

Surgi-OR Littauer Cutting Forceps are a non-ratcheted, plier handle instrument used primarily for cutting nail and bone. These mid-grade instruments are suitable for use in the OR and surgery centers. As nail nippers they are used for nail debridement. They may also be used to nip delicate bones found in the facial and nasal region, or small animal (mice) veterinary procedures. The short, sharp blades are able to produce enough force to cut through thick nail and small bone, but delicate enough not to cause trauma to surrounding tissue or organs. This is particularly helpful with nail debridement which should be completed in short, small sections to avoid damage to the hyponychium. This product has straight jaws with smooth edges and an overall length of 4 inches. The back, outside edge of the blades is curved.
