Schlesinger IVD rongeur working length 178mm straight 3.0mm x 10.0mm cup jaws with teeth ring handle

Controlled Reach for Precise Rongeur Handling

The Schlesinger IVD rongeur is a surgical bone-cutting instrument designed for controlled removal or trimming of hard tissue through its straight cup jaws. Its 178mm working length supports access into deeper operative fields, while the 3mm bite size helps provide a focused working area. Toothed cup jaws are suited to secure engagement during handling, and the ring handle offers a familiar grip for instrument control. This configuration can support routine general surgery workflows as well as neurosurgical applications where measured reach and deliberate jaw placement are important. The straight profile also promotes consistent orientation during use and handling.

Use Cases

• General surgery tasks requiring a straight rongeur for controlled bone removal or trimming.
• Neurosurgical workflows where a 178mm working length supports access to deeper operative areas.
• Engaging and removing small sections of hard tissue with the 3mm bite size.
• Using the toothed cup jaws when a more secure hold on the material being removed is useful.
• Maintaining a familiar ring-handle grip while positioning the jaws for deliberate, controlled work.

Care & Handling

• Clean the rongeur promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the cup jaws, teeth, hinge, and ring handle for visible damage, residue, alignment issues, or restricted movement before reuse.
• Handle the jaws carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help preserve their working edges and alignment.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the jaws and prevents contact damage from other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
