Neurosurgical rongeur

Definition

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed with a cutting/biting action used for the removal of bone, e.g., pieces of the skull, during a neurosurgical intervention. It is a strongly constructed instrument that has a forceps or pliers-like design terminating at the distal end with sharp-edged, scoop-shaped jaws attached to strong, sprung (self-opening), pivoted or multi-pivoted handles that, when squeezed together, close the jaws to bite (cut) through the bone. It is available in various sizes and is made of high-grade stainless steel and designed to withstand the forces which are applied. This is a reusable device.
