Dale first rib rongeur 14 1/2" double-action curved 3.0mm wide jaws, spring handle

Controlled Access for Precise Bone Removal

The Dale first rib rongeur is a 14 1/2-inch surgical rongeur designed for controlled removal of bone during operative work. Its double-action mechanism and curved profile support a deliberate approach when reach and instrument positioning matter, while the 3.0 mm wide jaws provide a focused bite for task-specific handling. The spring handle supports repeated opening and closing during a procedure. Suitable for general surgery and cardiovascular applications, this rongeur can help clinicians work through established surgical workflows that require a long, curved instrument and a compact jaw profile.

Use Cases

• Removing or trimming bone during general surgery procedures where a rongeur is appropriate.
• Supporting cardiovascular surgical workflows that require controlled bone handling through a long, curved instrument.
• Using the curved profile to approach targeted areas while maintaining practical instrument reach.
• Applying the 3.0 mm jaw bite for focused bone removal rather than broad surface engagement.
• Using the spring handle and double-action design for repeated rongeur manipulation during operative tasks.

Care & Handling
