Sklar Adson Rongeur, 8 Inch
An 8 inch rongeur used to bite away small pieces of bone during orthopedic, spinal and neurosurgical procedures. It is stocked by hospitals and clinics performing this type of procedure.
The Sklar Adson Rongeur is a bone-biting instrument measuring 8 inches overall, used to remove small pieces of bone or bony spurs during orthopedic, spinal and neurosurgical procedures. Its spring-loaded jaws open automatically after each bite, letting the surgeon work through repeated cuts efficiently without resetting the instrument by hand.
This listing covers both curved and straight jaw configurations of the same rongeur, so the surgical team can choose the profile that best matches the access angle at the operative site, with the curved version suiting work around contoured bone surfaces and the straight version suiting direct-line bone removal.
Rongeurs of this size are a standard component of orthopedic and spine instrument sets and are typically stocked in pairs or small groups so more than one jaw angle is available within a single tray. As with other bone-cutting instruments, they are built from hardened stainless steel to withstand repeated use against bone.
