gSource’s gSilicone Rod Shears were awarded the third place Excellence in Surgical Products Award in the Surgical Instruments category. Surgical Products connected with gSource to learn more.

They shared:  The gSilicone Rod Shears from gSource benefits the surgical team and aids in better outcomes  for patients in three key areas:

1. Surgical performance: Double action design provides surgeons greater ease in cutting  rods.

2. Efficiency: One instrument shears three different rod diameters – 4.5mm, 5.5mm and  6.35mm. Available with (gS 83.7290) or without (gS 83.7280) detachable handles. Due  to 22-inch overall length, detachable handles allow for easier storage and flexibility when  fitting in sterilization containers.

3. Safety: Rods are sheared, leaving a smooth and clean surface rather than a sharp,  jagged, burr-like surface common when using a standard pinching-type rod cutter. This  results in less trauma for the patient. Biocompatible silicone handles help to prevent  slippage and provide a secure, comfortable grip for the surgeon. Rod shears are a high  quality precision instrument made from German stainless steel. Better instruments result in better outcomes for the patient.
