Leksell rongeur 9 double-action, slightly curved jaws 7.0mm bite, spring handle

Precision Bite and Controlled Access for Delicate Bone Work

The Leksell rongeur is a classic instrument for cutting and removing bone in confined surgical fields. This 9" double-action version with slightly curved jaws and a 7.0mm bite provides a balanced combination of reach and precision, allowing you to contour bone or create a clean opening with controlled bites. The double-action mechanism multiplies your force, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive use, while the spring handle returns the jaws open for efficient workflow. Its curved profile improves visibility and access to the surgical site, making it a versatile choice across cardiovascular, general, neurosurgical, and orthopedic procedures where controlled bone removal is required.

Use Cases

• Resecting or contouring bone in neurosurgical approaches, such as enlarging a craniotomy or shaping the bony opening.
• Trimming bone edges or removing small osteophytes in orthopedic procedures to create a smooth surface or improve joint access.
• Creating a controlled opening in the sternum or ribs during cardiovascular access, where precision and visibility are critical.
• General surgical applications requiring fine bone removal or shaping in confined anatomical areas.
• Use in procedures where a slightly curved jaw helps navigate around soft tissue while maintaining a clear line of sight.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• After each use, clean the instrument thoroughly to remove all tissue and debris, paying special attention to the jaw hinge and serrations.
• Inspect the jaws for alignment and sharpness, and check the spring handle for smooth action and proper tension before reprocessing.
• Handle the instrument carefully to avoid bending the shafts or damaging the jaw tips; store in a protective tray or case to prevent impact.
