Bone Nibbler Forceps

Orthopedic Bone Nibbler Forcepsalso known as rongeurs, are surgical instruments designed to cut, shape, and remove small fragments of bone during orthopedic and spinal procedures. They are characterized by their double-action or single-action mechanisms, which provide a simpler, more controlled way to nibble away at bone with less effort. Available in straight and curved configurations and various lengths (e.g., 6 to 9 inches, or 190mm to 270mm), these instruments are made from stainless steel and are used for tasks like fracture fixation, joint reconstruction, and osteotomies.
Description
Function:
Bone nibblers are used to precisely trim or remove small pieces of bone during surgery, allowing for precise shaping and removal of bone fragments.
Mechanism:
Double-Action: Offers greater cutting efficiency and requires less force from the surgeon due to its advanced joint mechanism.
Single-Action: A simpler mechanism for cutting, but still reduces the effort needed compared to other tools.
Types:
Straight Bone Nibblers: Used for general orthopedic applications.
Curved Bone Nibblers: Ideal for accessing hard-to-reach areas, such as in spinal surgeries.
Material:
Constructed from high-quality, surgical-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability, reusability, and resistance to corrosion.
Common Sizes
Lengths can vary, with examples including:
Inches: 6 inches, 7 inches, 8 inches, or 9 inches.
Millimeters: 190 mm to 270 mm.
Some nibblers may also specify the cutting bite size, such as 3 mm.
