An excellent surgical instrument used in surgical amputation
The Liston Knife was named after a Scottish surgeon “Robert
Liston”. The knife is crafted from high-quality stainless metal. The overall
instrument was modified after the American Civil War. The changes reflect the
need for amputation surgeries.
This knife features amputation blades and generally known
for its down curving design in the 1840s. But later on, the design was changed
into a straight design. This modified design is closely related to “Liston
European Style”.

slender blade style. This specific design proved to be more helpful in
amputation tasks. Previously, the handle also comes in a much bigger design.
But, later on, it was also modified into optimal length.
