Spinal rongeur (A hand-held manual surgical instrument with sharp, scoop-shaped jaws designed for cutting tough tissues (intervertebral disk) or bone, through a cutting/biting action, during open spinal surgery (e.g., laminectomy, discectomy). It is typically made of metal and designed to withstand the forces required to bite over tough tissue. It is not intended for endoscopic access. This is a reusable device.)
32853
Orthopaedic joint/limb rongeur (A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to remove bone during an orthopaedic intervention of the limbs/joints; it is not primarily intended for nasal, spinal, or cranial use and is not a dedicated rib rongeur. It is a heavy-duty metallic instrument that has a forceps- or pliers-like design and terminates at the distal end with sharp-edged, scoop-shaped jaws attached to strong, sprung (self-opening), pivoted or multi-pivoted handles that, when squeezed together, close the jaws to bite (cut) through the bone. This is a reusable device.)
