Richards 55-0472 Wright-Rubin Straight Septum Morselizer Forceps | Double-Action Mechanical Crusher | 21 cm (8-1/4") Length | Stainless Steel | 1/EA | Used
The Richards 55-0472 Wright-Rubin Straight Septum Morselizer is a heavy-duty double-action mechanical crushing and texturing forcep engineered for uniform substrate flattening, dense material softening, and controlled thickness reduction without fragmentation. Featuring straight, broad cross-serrated jaw plates, this instrument applies high mechanical advantage and balanced compressive force across opposing surfaces. Measuring 21 cm (8-1/4 inches) in total length with a double-spring plier handle, it offers smooth, fatigue-reducing operation. Forged from surgical-grade German stainless steel, this morselizer is ideal for polymer sheet processing, tissue matrix flattening in lab research, density material testing, and technical instructional displays.
