Tudor Edwards Rib Shears are robust, heavy-duty surgical scissors specifically designed for cutting ribs during thoracic procedures such as thoracotomy. They feature strong, double-action jaws with sharp, curved blades that provide powerful leverage to cut through the tough cortical and cancellous bone of a rib cleanly and efficiently. This instrument allows for rapid division of ribs with minimal fragmentation, facilitating access to the thoracic cavity for lung, cardiac, or esophageal surgery.
