Liston forceps are a surgical instrument for cutting or dividing bones during surgical procedures. Life science researchers might use these robust cutting forceps for gross dissection or tissue dissection, or in plant research to trim stems and roots.
- Double spring handles for smooth strong cutting action
- Surgical grade stainless steel
Liston forceps have a heavy construction with long handles and sharp, curved blades at the working end. The blades have a concave cutting edge to focus the cutting force and ensures a precise bone cut. These range from 14 cm (5.5") to 25 cm (10") long with double spring handles and straight, curved tips.
The longer the handles on the Liston Forceps, the more leverage you have for generating force great enough to cut through bone. The sharp and curved blades enable precise cutting and also reduce the force required to cut through bone. The curved tips help focus the cutting force away fro surrounding tissues, minimizing collateral damage. After making a cut, use your Liston forceps to grasp and remove the bone fragments.
These forceps have a double spring handle, which consists of two separate springs that work together to provide additional force and control when using the instrument. By providing additional tension and support, double spring handles make it easier to manipulate the instrument with precision and stability, even in delicate or hard-to-reach areas. These handles can help you maintain proper hand positioning and reduce hand fatigue.
These surgical instruments are made from surgical grade stainless steel and are suitable for sterilization by autoclave or chemical sterilant. Always clean surgical instruments thoroughly and promptly every time you use them.
