Stille is both an eponym and a manufacturer name from Swedish surgical instrument tradition; many patterns developed by the Stille company or by surgeons associated with it bear the Stille name. The Stille bone-cutting forceps, Stille rongeur, and Stille-Luer bone forceps are all standard heavy-bone instruments used in orthopaedic open-procedure sets. The patterns share a heavy robust construction and double-action joint geometry that provides mechanical advantage for cutting hard cortical bone. Modern Stille-family instruments are typically made from hardened tool-grade stainless with tungsten carbide cutting edges in professional-grade variants. Lengths of 23 cm, 27 cm, and 32 cm are standard.
