Maurer Costotome (Left)
A Maurer Costotome (Left) is a surgical instrument used to perform rib resection. It is a curved, double-ended instrument with a cutting blade at one end and a blunt tip at the other. The cutting blade is used to cut through the rib bone, while the blunt tip is used to move the rib away from the surrounding tissue. It is typically used during thoracic surgery, such as the removal of tumors or the repair of rib fractures.
