11 3/4" Smith IVD Rongeur teeth straight 5x12mm

Straight, Reach-Enhanced Rongeur for Focused Bone Removal

The 11 3/4" Smith IVD Rongeur is a toothed, straight-pattern surgical instrument designed for controlled biting and removal of bone within appropriate operative workflows. Its 5 mm bite offers a focused working profile, while the 11.75" overall length supports reach into deeper or less accessible fields without changing the instrument’s direct straight-jaw orientation. In General Surgery, it can support bone-related tasks requiring a firm, precise bite. In Neurosurgery, its configuration may be selected for compatible procedures where measured access and controlled handling are important. The design supports clear jaw alignment and repeatable instrument positioning during use.

Use Cases

• Removing small portions of bone during appropriate General Surgery procedures.
• Supporting controlled bone-biting tasks where a straight jaw orientation is preferred.
• Accessing deeper operative fields where the 11.75" overall length is useful.
• Handling compatible Neurosurgery tasks that require a focused 5 mm bite.
• Using the toothed jaws for firm engagement during applicable bone-removal workflows.
