The 14¼ Inch Coryllos Bethune Right Rib Shears is a professional-grade thoracic surgical instrument engineered to provide precise and efficient rib cutting during cardiovascular, thoracic, pulmonary, and trauma surgical procedures. Manufactured to the trusted Coryllos-Bethune pattern, these rib shears deliver outstanding cutting power, ergonomic handling, and exceptional durability, making them an essential instrument in modern cardiothoracic operating rooms.

During thoracic and open-heart surgeries, controlled rib transection is often required to obtain adequate exposure of the chest cavity and vital anatomical structures. The Coryllos-Bethune Right Rib Shears are specifically designed to cut rib bones smoothly while minimizing surgeon effort and maintaining optimal control. The right-oriented cutting configuration offers improved access and visibility for right-sided thoracic procedures, allowing surgeons to work efficiently within complex operative fields.

The instrument features an overall length of 14¼ inches (approximately 36.2 cm), providing extended reach into deep surgical sites while maximizing leverage for effective rib division. The long profile enables surgeons to perform controlled bone cutting with reduced physical force, improving efficiency during prolonged cardiovascular and thoracic operations.

Its precision-ground cutting blades are engineered for clean, controlled transection of rib bone. The heavy-duty blade design maintains sharpness and alignment through repeated clinical use, ensuring reliable performance even when cutting dense osseous tissue. The optimized blade geometry contributes to smoother cutting action while reducing unnecessary stress on surrounding anatomical structures.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Coryllos-Bethune Rib Shears – Right provide exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. The high-quality stainless steel construction withstands repeated autoclave sterilization while preserving blade integrity, cutting performance, and structural stability. The polished surgical finish allows for efficient cleaning and supports compliance with modern infection prevention protocols.

The ergonomic finger ring handles provide a secure, comfortable grip that enhances precision and control during rib transection. The balanced instrument design reduces hand fatigue during extended procedures, while the reinforced box-lock joint ensures smooth blade movement and consistent cutting performance throughout surgery.

These rib shears are widely used in cardiovascular surgery, thoracic surgery, pulmonary surgery, trauma surgery, and chest wall reconstruction. They are particularly valuable during thoracotomy, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), lung resections, rib resections, cardiac surgery, and emergency thoracic interventions where dependable rib-cutting instruments are essential.

Routine cleaning, inspection, lubrication of the box-lock joint, and sterilization according to approved hospital instrument reprocessing protocols help maintain blade sharpness, smooth operation, and long-term clinical performance. Proper maintenance extends the service life of the instrument while ensuring reliable performance during every procedure.

The Cardio Vascular Surgical 14¼″ Coryllos-Bethune Rib Shears – Right combines precision engineering, ergonomic comfort, and premium stainless steel construction to provide surgeons with a dependable solution for safe, accurate, and efficient rib transection in advanced thoracic and cardiovascular surgery.
