Ruskin-Liston rongeur 7 1/8" double-action wide straight jaws, spring handle

Controlled Rongeur Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Ruskin-Liston rongeur is a 7 1/8-inch double-action instrument designed for controlled biting and removal of tissue or bone during surgical handling. Its wide, straight jaws present a direct working profile, while the spring handle supports repeated opening and closing during instrument use. This configuration provides a practical option for ENT, general surgery, and orthopedic workflows that require a firm grasp and a focused bite at the operative site. The 5 mm bite size balances targeted material removal with a broad jaw profile, while the 7-inch overall length supports access within the working field.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting and removal tasks in orthopedic procedures where a rongeur is appropriate.
• Support ENT workflows requiring a straight-jaw rongeur for focused work within the operative field.
• Assist general surgery instrument sets with tissue or bone-handling tasks suited to a rongeur.
• Use the wide, straight jaws when a direct jaw profile is preferred for positioning and engagement.
• Employ the spring handle to support repeated jaw opening and closing during procedural work.
