Hartman rongeur 5 1/2" straight jaws 6.0mm bite, spring handle

Controlled Biting and Comfortable Spring-Handle Handling

The Hartman rongeur is a 5 1/2-inch surgical instrument designed for controlled biting and removal of small material through its 6.0 mm straight jaws. Its spring handle supports repeated opening and closing during instrument-intensive work, while the straight profile provides a direct approach and clear orientation at the working end. Suitable for general surgery and orthopedic workflows, this rongeur helps clinicians perform focused biting tasks with a compact format that is practical for controlled access. The 6 mm bite balances useful working capacity with deliberate handling during routine procedural use.

Use Cases

• General surgery tasks requiring controlled biting with a straight-jaw rongeur.
• Orthopedic workflows involving focused removal or trimming tasks suited to a 6 mm bite.
• Procedural work where a 5 1/2-inch instrument provides practical reach and maneuverability.
• Repeated biting tasks supported by the instrument’s spring-handle design.
• Work requiring a straight jaw profile for direct approach and consistent instrument orientation.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the rongeur according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
