OverviewThe Stille-Liston AE 2005 bone cutting forceps are designed for precise bone resection in veterinary orthopedic surgery, suitable for small and large animal procedures.
SummaryHeavy-duty instrument optimized for controlled bone sectioning with minimal tissue trauma. Engineered components and a positive-engagement ratchet support repeatable, accurate osteotomies across a range of clinical applications.
Technical Specifications & Features- Cutting excellence:
- Dual-action tungsten carbide jaws with 5 mm bite width for clean bone sectioning
- Triple-beveled cutting edges to reduce splintering
- Optimized jaw geometry to limit bone crushing (manufacturer data vs. standard models)
- Positive-engagement ratchet with 5 locking positions for controlled cuts
- Advanced construction:
- Medical-grade German steel (1.4045 / AISI 420MoV)
- Cryogenically hardened to 56–58 HRC for edge retention
- Radiodense markers for intraoperative imaging compatibility
- Laser-etched depth gauge with 1 mm increments
- Ergonomic innovation:
- 24 cm length for deep wound access
