Mead ''Cleveland'' rongeur 6 1/2" #4A curved 4.0mm cup jaws upper side open, spring handle

Controlled Access for Bone and Tissue Removal

The Mead "Cleveland" rongeur is a surgical biting instrument designed for controlled removal of bone or tissue during procedures where access and hand positioning matter. Its 6 1/2-inch length supports reach into the operative field, while the curved profile and upper-side-open 4.0mm cup jaws help present the bite in a practical orientation for general surgery and orthopedic workflows. The spring handle supports repeated opening and closing during instrument use, helping maintain a familiar rongeur technique. A compact 4mm bite size allows focused removal rather than broad engagement, making this instrument a practical option for detail-oriented surgical handling.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting and removal of bone or tissue in general surgery procedures.
• Support orthopedic workflows requiring a curved rongeur with a focused 4mm bite.
• Use the 6 1/2-inch length when additional reach into the operative field is useful.
• Position the upper-side-open cup jaws to support access and visibility during targeted removal tasks.
• Use the spring handle for repeated opening and closing during rongeur handling.
