Sella punch rongeur working length 180mm, thin footplate angled up 40° 1.5mm bite 9.0mm opening small handle

Controlled Access for Precise Rongeur Work

The Sella punch rongeur is a surgical biting instrument designed for controlled removal of small amounts of tissue or bone during focused operative work. Its 180mm working length supports reach into deeper or less accessible fields, while the extra-thin footplate and 40° upward angle help position the 1.5mm bite where a more compact or straight instrument may be less practical. The 9.0mm opening supports repeated biting action, and the small handle is suited to deliberate manipulation. Appropriate for task-focused use in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, it combines narrow access geometry with a defined bite size for measured handling.

Use Cases

• Use in General Surgery when a 1.5mm bite is suited to controlled, incremental rongeur work.
• Use in Neurosurgery for focused access where the 180mm working length supports reach into deeper operative fields.
• Position the 40° upward-angled footplate to approach a target from above while maintaining the instrument’s intended biting orientation.
• Use the extra-thin footplate when a low-profile working end is helpful for access and visualization in a confined field.
• Apply the 9.0mm opening for repeated bites during compatible rongeur procedures requiring measured tissue or bone removal.

Care & Handling

• Clean the rongeur promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the footplate, bite edges, hinge, and handle before use for visible soil, damage, or impaired movement.
• Handle the thin footplate carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to avoid unintended bending or impact.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the angled working end and prevents contact damage from other instruments.
