Mead Bone Rongeur square tip 16.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled removal and shaping of small amounts of bone and dense connective tissue in confined surgical fields. The square tip provides a flat, consistent biting surface that helps surgeons take precise, predictable bites when creating troughs, trimming bone edges, or removing bone spicules in procedures such as hand and wrist surgery, foot and ankle procedures, craniofacial and maxillofacial work, ENT, and select spinal or neurosurgical exposures.

Design & Configuration

The short 16.5 cm overall length provides tactile feedback and close control for fine bone work. The square tip geometry delivers a broad, flat bite that resists rotation on contact with hard cortical surfaces, improving stability when shaping or contouring bone. The plier-style handle layout concentrates bite force at the tip for efficient cutting with minimal hand movement, making the instrument well suited for confined or deep operative corridors where precise, repeatable removal is required.

Instrument Specifications

• Overall length: 16.5 cm
• Tip style: Square biting tip for flat, controlled cuts
• Typical uses: Nibbling/trimming cortical and cancellous bone in orthopedics, hand, foot/ankle, craniofacial, ENT, and select spine procedures
