Sklar Bane Rongeur, Curved 3mm x 16mm
A 7 inch curved rongeur with a 3mm by 16mm jaw, used to bite away small pieces of bone during orthopedic and spinal surgery. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Bane Rongeur is a 7 inch curved bone rongeur with a 3mm by 16mm biting jaw, used to remove small fragments of bone during orthopedic and spinal surgical procedures. The curved jaw geometry allows the surgeon to approach bone from an angled direction, which is useful when working around curved anatomical surfaces or in confined surgical corridors where a straight jawed rongeur would not sit flush against the target bone.
Like other bone rongeurs, it uses a spring loaded double action mechanism to multiply hand force at the jaw tip, allowing controlled bone removal even from dense cortical surfaces without requiring excessive grip strength from the surgeon. This instrument is used during procedures such as laminectomy, osteophyte removal, and general bone shaping in orthopedic and neurosurgical practice, where precise, incremental bone removal is preferred over more aggressive cutting instruments.
It is a standard component of spinal and orthopedic surgery sets, used by orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons, and is reprocessed for reuse across many procedures.
