Catlin Amputating Knife
Constructed of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Catlin Amputating Knife (also known as an interosseous knife) is renowned for its sharpness, versatility, control, and durability. It offers two distinct cutting surfaces: a sharp edge for clean incisions and a blunt edge for delicate periosteal stripping, minimizing tissue damage during procedures.
- Double-edged blade with a sharp edge for precise cuts and a blunt edge for periosteal stripping.
- The raised central ridge runs along the length of the blade to enhance its strength and control.
- Its lightweight, hollow, and ergonomically designed handle reduces fatigue and provide surgeon comfort and steady control.
- Available in three lengths: 16 cm (6 1/4"), 19 cm (7 1/2"), and 22 cm (8 3/4"), to accommodate various surgical needs.
The Catlin Amputating Knife's long blade and double-edged design facilitates the separation of muscles, blood vessels, and other soft tissues during limb amputations. It can also be used to clear surrounding tissue to allow access to the bone.
