Mead Bone Rongeur Forceps

Description

Mead Bone Rongeur Forceps

The Mead bone rongeur is a 15 cm general-purpose nibbler. You can choose standard, round or square jaws to suit the bone you shape.

Three jaw shapes

Standard jaws suit everyday trimming. Meanwhile, round jaws leave a smooth, curved edge. By contrast, square jaws cut a straighter line.

A middle instrument

The Mead is neither very fine nor very heavy. Therefore it handles a wide range of tasks on a single tray. That saves time looking for other rongeurs.

Who uses the Mead bone rongeur

Dental surgeons shape ridges with it. Meanwhile, forefoot and hand teams trim small bones. General orthopedic work suits it too.

Picking a jaw

If you want one rongeur only, choose standard jaws. However, add round or square jaws for special contours. Many surgeons keep two shapes.

Matching shape to result

Think about the edge you want to leave. A rounded edge suits soft tissue cover, whereas a square edge suits a graft seat. Consequently, the jaw choice follows the plan.

Mead upkeep

Brush each jaw shape carefully, since square corners trap debris. Dry the rongeur. Finally, lubricate the joint and test the action.
