Bone-cutting forceps
Bone-cutting forceps have two straight sharp edges and may have one or two fulcrums for double action. They can be used to cut small bones (ribs) or small rough edges of large bones.
Identification points
· These have a sharp cutting edge.
· These have strong joint to increase cutting force.
· These have a strong handle which is ridged to provide a firm grip.
What is the use of extra joints on the lever system?
Extra joints on the lever system are used to multiply the cutting power of the forceps so that less effort is required.
Uses
· To round off sharp edges of a cut bone.
· To smoothen the stump, in amputation of a bone.
· To cut into a cavity.
