A scoring system includes a scoring device and a mandrel. The scoring device includes at least one scoring disc configured to engage a surface of a mesh cage. In an open condition, the scoring disc is positioned away from the mesh cage and in a closed condition, the scoring disc engages a surface of the mesh cage. The scoring device is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the mesh cage when in the closed condition to score the mesh cage at a desired length from an end of the mesh cage. The mandrel is insertable within the mesh cage to support and/or retain a portion of the mesh cage. The mandrel can also apply a force to the score mark to cleanly separate two portions of the mesh cage at the score mark.
