23 cm, 9″
The Rib Shear 10-680-23 is a specialized surgical instrument intended for controlled rib cutting during appropriate thoracic procedures. Measuring 23 cm (9 inches) in overall length, this model provides a practical working profile for professional surgical environments where dedicated rib-cutting instrumentation is required. Its focused design makes it a useful choice for procedure-specific trays where instrument selection is based on the demands of the operative technique.
A dedicated rib shear allows surgical professionals to work with an instrument specifically categorized for rib cutting rather than adapting a general-purpose cutting tool. The 10-680-23 is also listed under the Sternum Chisel category, making its classification useful when organizing and managing specialized thoracic instruments. The 23 cm length offers a clearly defined size for teams considering reach and handling requirements during instrument selection.
Next Edge Surgical LLC includes this model in its specialized CARDIOVASCULAR & THORACIC INSTRUMENTS collection, providing another dedicated option for professional surgical inventory planning.
