Schlesinger IVD rongeur working length 178mm angled down 2.0mm x 10.0mm cup jaws with teeth ring handle

Angled 178mm Rongeur for Controlled Access and Secure Handling

The Schlesinger IVD rongeur is a surgical bone-cutting instrument designed for removing small amounts of bone or other firm tissue during procedures requiring controlled access. Its 178mm working length provides extended reach, while the angled-down 2.0mm x 10.0mm cup jaws help position the bite at the intended site. Teeth on the cup jaws support secure engagement, and the ring handle provides a familiar grip for measured instrument control. Suitable for workflows in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this configuration can support access in deeper or less direct operative fields without changing the instrument’s specialty-neutral role.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting or removal of small amounts of bone or firm tissue in General Surgery procedures.
• Support Neurosurgery workflows that require a long, angled-down rongeur configuration for access to the operative site.
• Use the 178mm working length to reach areas where a shorter instrument may provide less convenient access.
• Position the angled cup jaws for a more direct approach when the operative field does not align with a straight instrument.
• Use the toothed cup jaws to engage the material being removed while maintaining handling through the ring handle.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the rongeur promptly after use according to facility procedures and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the cup jaws, teeth, hinge, and ring handle for residue, damage, deformation, or impaired movement before reuse.
• Handle the angled jaws carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help protect their alignment and working edges.
• Store the instrument in a manner that prevents contact damage to the jaws and supports ready inspection before the next procedure.
