Heavy Liston Bone Cutting Forceps, or simply Liston Forceps, are a surgical instrument for cutting or dividing bones during surgical procedures. Life science researchers might use these robust cutting forceps for gross dissection or tissue dissection, or in plant research to trim stems and roots. Liston Forceps have a heavy construction with long handles and sharp, curved blades at the working end. The blades have a concave cutting edge to focus the cutting force and ensures a precise bone cut. These range from 14 cm (5.5") to 25 cm (10") long with double spring handles and straight, curved tips.
