Semb Rib Shears: Precision Rib Resection for Enhanced Cardiovascular Access

Achieving precise and controlled rib resection is paramount in cardiovascular surgery to ensure optimal access while minimizing trauma and patient recovery time. Inadequate instrumentation can lead to jagged bone edges, prolonged procedure times, and increased risk of complications. The Semb Rib Shears, 9-inch with a curved, angled handle, are engineered to address these challenges. Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, this reusable instrument provides superior leverage and a clean cutting action, facilitating efficient sternotomy and thoracotomy procedures. Its ergonomic design and robust construction, backed by CE and ISO 13485 certifications, ensure reliability and consistent performance, supporting improved surgical outcomes in demanding cardiovascular interventions.

Use Cases

• Controlled resection of ribs during thoracotomy for cardiac or major vessel access.
• Precise bone cutting for sternal retraction in open-heart procedures.
• Facilitating access to the mediastinum for cardiovascular repair or grafting.
• Efficient removal of rib segments in reconstructive thoracic surgery.
