Sklar Caspar Rongeur, Bayonet and Detachable
A 4-3/4 inch angled down rongeur used to remove bone during spinal surgery, offered in bayonet, detachable and standard shaft styles across multiple jaw diameters.
The Sklar Caspar Rongeur is a bone-removing instrument measuring 4-3/4 inches with a jaw angled downward, designed for controlled bone bite work during spinal surgery, particularly in the tight corridor created during anterior cervical procedures. This listing covers nine variants across three shaft styles, bayonet, detachable and standard, and jaw diameters of 2mm and 3mm, giving surgeons the choice of shaft geometry that keeps their hand and line of sight clear of the surgical field as well as the bite size appropriate to the amount of bone being removed.
The bayonet shaft offsets the handle from the jaw axis for better visibility in a deep, narrow field, while the detachable shaft allows the jaw tip to be separated from the handle for targeted cleaning and inspection. Rongeurs like this are used throughout spine surgery to trim bone edges, widen a foraminal opening or shape a vertebral surface ahead of graft or implant placement.
Neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons rely on this instrument as part of their spinal instrument tray, and it is reprocessed as a reusable stainless steel tool between cases.
