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.)
