Sklar Brunner Rib Shears, 13-1/2 Inch
A 13-1/2 inch heavy duty shears used to cut through rib bone during thoracic and cardiac surgical procedures, available in two length options, for use in hospitals and surgical centers.
The Sklar Brunner Rib Shears is a heavy duty cutting instrument built to divide rib bone during thoracotomy and other procedures where access to the chest cavity requires cutting through the rib cage. At 13-1/2 inches overall, it provides the leverage needed to cut through bone that a standard tissue scissors cannot manage, with a robust blade and handle design suited to repeated forceful cutting during a single procedure.
This listing offers two length options in the rib shears line, letting the surgical team choose the size that gives the leverage and reach appropriate for the patient and the specific thoracic approach. It is intended for use by trained thoracic and cardiac surgical staff and is a standard component of the thoracotomy instrument tray, cleaned and sterilised between procedures like other heavy duty reusable surgical instruments.
