A hand-held manual surgical instrument with a cutting/biting action designed to remove bone during an orthopaedic intervention. It is a heavy-duty instrument that has a forceps- or pliers-like design and terminates 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. This is a reusable device.
