Cleveland Cutting Forcep, 17cm — Overview

The Cleveland Cutting Forcep (S27-200-17) is a 17cm cutting instrument used in maxillofacial and rhinoplasty surgery for trimming cartilage, soft tissue, or fine bone fragments where a scissor-type cutting action is preferred over the biting action of a rongeur or the striking action of an osteotome.

Cutting Forcep vs. Other Cutting Instruments

Where a rongeur bites and removes bone piece by piece and an osteotome is struck with a mallet for controlled linear bone cuts, a cutting forcep provides a scissor-like shearing action, well suited to softer tissue such as cartilage, or to trimming fine tissue edges with more direct, hand-controlled precision than a mallet-driven instrument allows.

Clinical Use

This forcep is used in rhinoplasty for cartilage trimming and shaping, and in broader maxillofacial surgery wherever precise, hand-controlled cutting of soft tissue or fine structures is needed.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with hardened, precisely aligned cutting blades designed for a clean shearing action.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable. The cutting blades should be inspected before each use for alignment and sharpness, since misaligned or dulled blades will crush rather than cleanly cut tissue.
