Jarit 300-310 Bethune Rib Surgical Shears 14"

Jarit Bethune Rib Shears | 14" Overall Length | 300-310 | Reusable Stainless

The Jarit 300-310 (Bethune) is a premier thoracic instrument engineered for the rapid and controlled division of ribs during thoracotomy and chest wall procedures. Measuring 14 inches (35.6 cm) in length, these shears utilize a powerful compound-action or long-lever design to provide the significant mechanical advantage required to cut through dense bone with minimal manual effort.

The Bethune model is characterized by its curved, heavy-duty blades and specialized "guillotine-style" cutting action, which ensures a clean, perpendicular cut across the rib. This prevents splintering and preserves the structural integrity of the remaining bone, which is essential for post-operative healing and chest wall stability.

Key Specifications

• Model / REF: 300-310

• Product Type: Bethune Rib Shears

• Overall Length: 14 Inches (35.6 cm)

• Blade Geometry: Curved / Heavy-Duty Bone Cutting

• Material: High-Carbon Surgical Stainless Steel

• Operation: Manual High-Leverage Squeeze

• Cleaning: Fully Autoclavable / Reusable

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• 14-Inch High-Torque Leverage: The extended handle length translates manual grip into massive cutting force at the distal tips. This allows the surgeon to transect ribs in a single, fluid motion, reducing operative time during emergency thoracotomies.

• Precision Bone Trimming: The specialized blade curvature is designed to hook under the rib, providing a stable platform that prevents the instrument from "skipping" or sliding during the cut.

• Clean Transection Mechanics: Jarit's precision-honed edges are engineered to shear rather than crush, minimizing the release of bone marrow and reducing the risk of fat embolism or excessive local trauma.

• Ergonomic Grip Design: The handles are contoured to provide a secure, non-slip grip even when used with double-gloving or in the presence of surgical fluids.

• Jarit Industrial Durability: Known for their robust construction, Jarit thoracic tools maintain their pivot-point alignment and blade sharpness through years of rigorous clinical use in high-volume trauma centers.

Applications

• Thoracic Surgery: Rib resection during posterolateral or anterolateral thoracotomy.

• Trauma Surgery: Rapid access to the thoracic cavity for cardiac massage or lung repair.

• Cardiovascular Surgery: Chest wall entry for complex bypass or valve procedures.

• Autopsy & Forensics: Reliable bone cutting in pathology environments.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Usable Condition.

• Maintenance: This instrument shows visible signs of professional use (minor surface scuffs consistent with standard tray storage and repeated sterilization), but it remains fully functional. The cutting edges are intact, the pivot screw is secure with no lateral "play," and the 14-inch frame is perfectly aligned.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical instrumentation and hospital materials, Primis Medical ensures all heavy-duty thoracic tools are function-verified and ultrasonically cleaned prior to shipment.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in reinforced, heavy-duty packaging to ensure the 14-inch stainless steel frame and specialized cutting head arrive ready for reprocessing.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
