The Giertz Stille Rib Shear is a robust and powerful orthopedic instrument designed for the controlled cutting of ribs during thoracic and cardiothoracic surgical procedures, such as thoracotomy. Its heavy-duty, double-action scissor mechanism provides significant mechanical advantage, allowing surgeons to cleanly cut through rib bone with minimal effort and reduced splintering. This precision is crucial for creating a clean osteotomy, which facilitates better healing and reduces post-operative pain and complications associated with rib fractures.

Key Features:

  • Heavy-duty, double-action scissor design for powerful, controlled rib cutting.

  • Sharp, strong blades engineered to cut through rib bone cleanly, minimizing fragmentation.

  • Essential for performing thoracotomies in cardiac, pulmonary, and trauma surgery.

  • Reduces surgeon effort and hand fatigue compared to manual saws or single-action cutters.

  • Forged from high-quality surgical steel to withstand the forces required for bone cutting.

  • A specialized, reliable tool for cardiothoracic and orthopedic surgeons.
