Dahlgren Cranial Rongeur Fcps 20cm, w/2 hooks

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for neurosurgical cranial procedures where controlled removal or shaping of bone is required. It is used during craniotomy, skull-base exposure, burr-hole enlargement, and refinement of bone edges to remove small cortical bone fragments or spicules. The dual-hook tip aids in securely engaging irregular bone surfaces or small fragments for precise excision without slippage, helping preserve adjacent dura and soft tissue.

Design & Configuration

The plier-style, hinged design provides mechanical advantage for controlled, reproducible bites in confined operative corridors. The 20 cm length delivers additional reach for working across the cranial vault or into deeper exposures while maintaining tactile feedback at the handles. The two-hook tip configuration permits secure capture of small bone pieces or cortical rims and facilitates controlled release and repositioning during delicate bone work.
