Luer Bone Rongeur Forceps

Description

Luer Bone Rongeur Forceps

This Luer orthopedic rongeur is the classic single-action bone nibbler in a surgical build. Two lengths cover small and medium bones.

The classic pattern

The Luer rongeur is one of the oldest and most familiar bone instruments. Its spring handles and cupped jaws remain popular. Therefore most surgeons know it instantly.

Lengths offered

A 15 cm version suits hand, foot and oral work. Alternatively, the 18 cm version reaches limb bones more easily. Also, both keep the same classic action.

Who uses the Luer orthopedic rongeur

Orthopedic surgeons trim spurs and bone edges. Also, oral and hand surgeons favor the shorter length. Additionally, it is a general tray staple in most theaters.

Single versus double action

A single-action Luer is light and quick. However, for very dense bone, a double-action Stille-Luer works better. Many trays carry both for that reason.

Simplicity

With only one pivot and a spring, the Luer is easy to clean and maintain. Consequently, it stays reliable for years with basic care. That simplicity is part of its appeal.
