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. Originally a single-bladed tool that dates to the 17th century, it eventually evolved into the familiar double-edged form. Its design offers two distinct cutting surfaces: a sharp edge for clean incisions and a blunt edge for delicate periosteal stripping, minimizing tissue damage. The instrument’s lightweight, hollow handle reduces fatigue during extended procedures, ensuring surgeon comfort and steady control. We offer this knife in 16 cm, 19 cm, and 22 cm varieties.
