Dawson-Yuhl-Leksell rongeur 11 1/2" double-action angled 5.0mm x 13.0mm jaws

Angled double-action control for focused hard-tissue work

The Dawson-Yuhl-Leksell rongeur is an 11 1/2-inch surgical rongeur designed for controlled biting and removal of hard tissue. Its double-action mechanism and angled 5.0mm x 13.0mm jaws provide a practical combination of reach, access, and working clearance when a straight approach is less convenient. The extended profile supports handling across general surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic workflows, while the angled jaw configuration helps position the bite at the intended site. The 5mm bite size offers a defined working area for task-focused instrument manipulation without adding unnecessary complexity to the operative setup.

Use Cases

• General surgery workflows requiring a rongeur for controlled hard-tissue biting and removal.
• Neurosurgical instrument setups where an angled jaw and extended 11 1/2-inch profile support access to the working area.
• Orthopedic procedures involving focused use of a rongeur for hard-tissue work.
• Operating-room handling situations in which double-action operation and a 5mm bite size suit repeated, deliberate jaw engagement.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the rongeur according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the angled jaws, bite surfaces, hinge, and double-action mechanism for residue, damage, alignment, or restricted movement before use.
• Handle the instrument carefully to protect the jaw edges and mechanism, and store it in a manner that prevents impact or unintended jaw loading.

General use; follow facility protocols.
