LISTON 170mm 17cm (Ref BS 14-896-02), supplied from Fizza Surgical’s instrument range under ISO 13485:2016 quality management.

Robert Liston was a Scottish surgeon known for the speed of his nineteenth-century amputations — performed before reliable anaesthesia, when speed was the only mercy. His name today attaches to the heavy bone-cutting forceps used during amputation, bone resection, and rib cutting. The Liston bone forceps’ defining feature is the scissor-action heavy jaws with curved or straight cutting edges, often combined with a double-action joint for mechanical advantage. The Stille-Liston variant is particularly heavy, used for cutting large cortical bone. Lengths of 21 cm, 24 cm, and 28 cm are standard. Modern Liston forceps are made from hardened tool-grade stainless for the cutting edges to retain sharpness.
