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

In demanding thoracic and orthopedic surgeries, achieving precise and controlled rib resection is paramount for optimal patient outcomes and minimizing collateral tissue damage. Substandard instrumentation can lead to irregular bone edges, extended operative times, and increased post-operative complications. The 14 1/4″ Coryllos-Bethune Rib Shears – right-handed – are meticulously engineered to overcome these challenges. Designed for robust performance and ergonomic handling, these shears deliver superior leverage and cutting efficiency for clean rib sectioning. Their specialized design ensures precise bone work, making them an indispensable tool for surgeons requiring reliability and control in complex surgical environments.

Use Cases

• Controlled resection of ribs during thoracotomy and other thoracic access procedures.
• Precise division of costal cartilage and bone for surgical exposure.
• Efficient rib trimming in reconstructive thoracic surgery applications.
• Preparation of rib grafts for various orthopedic and reconstructive procedures.
