Bone Cutting Forceps & Rongeurs
Bone Cutting Forceps & Rongeurs
Bone cutters are designed to penetrate with a sharp edge or to separate bones in two parts.
These devices are manual, non-powered instruments with one or more sharp edges; some bone cutters include two cutting blades and two short handles working on a pivot resembling forceps or cutting pliers. Bone cutters are mainly used in orthopaedic surgical procedures and in oral surgery
A rongeur is a strongly constructed instrument with a sharp-edged, scoop-shaped tip, used for gouging out bone. Rongeur is a French word that means rodent or 'gnawer'. A rongeur can be used to open a window in bone, often in the skull.
