Pilling Bethune Rib Shears | Model 34-1950 | Double-Curved Compound Leverage Shafts | 14.0 Inch Nominal Total Length (35.6 cm) | Heavy-Duty Cardiothoracic Bone Cutting Assembly | Reusable Capital Surgical Equipment Asset (1/EA)

The Pilling 34-1950 is a professional-grade manual surgical instrument expertly engineered to cut, section, and transect tough rib bones during thoracotomy, sternotomy, and deep cardiothoracic surgical procedures. This Bethune-pattern bone shear features an elongated 14.0 inch nominal total length (35.6 cm structural footprint) that provides maximum mechanical advantage when dividing dense chest wall structures. The physical architecture utilizes a specialized double-curved shaft layout paired with a compound leverage pivot assembly, allowing the surgeon to position the cutting blades flat against the rib cage while keeping their hands entirely clear of the primary incision line.
