27 cm, 10½”
The Giertz-Stille Rib Shears 10-685-27 are specialized thoracic surgical shears intended for controlled cutting during appropriate procedures involving the ribs and sternum. With an overall length of 27 cm (10½ inches), this model offers an extended working profile that can be considered when reach and instrument positioning are important factors in surgical preparation. Next Edge Surgical LLC identifies this product under both Rib Shears and Sternum Chisel categories.
A dedicated rib shear provides surgical professionals with an instrument selected specifically for the requirements of thoracic cutting procedures. The 27 cm length gives the Giertz-Stille model a clearly defined size, making it easier to distinguish when preparing procedure-specific trays or organizing a specialized instrument inventory. Its dedicated pattern can also help teams select equipment according to the intended operative technique rather than relying on a general-purpose cutting instrument.
For professional facilities building a focused thoracic set, this model can be paired with other specialized products from Next Edge Surgical LLC through its CARDIOVASCULAR & THORACIC INSTRUMENTS range.
