Stille-Ruskin Bone Rongeur Forceps

Description

Stille-Ruskin Bone Rongeur Forceps

The Stille-Ruskin bone rongeur blends two heavy-duty patterns into one 23 cm instrument. It nibbles dense bone with strength and control.

Two patterns in one

Ruskin rongeurs are known for a strong, compound action. Meanwhile, Stille instruments are known for their robust build. This hybrid takes the best of both.

Strength for dense bone

The joint design multiplies grip force. Therefore cortical bone yields with fewer efforts. That saves time on long cases, such as revision arthroplasty.

Who uses the Stille-Ruskin bone rongeur

Orthopedic and thoracic surgeons use it on ribs and long bones. Also, spine surgeons use it to trim bone during decompression. It suits amputation work too, where bone ends need smoothing.

Getting the best result

Work around the bone in a circle rather than straight across. Then feel the edge with a gloved finger. A smooth, rounded edge heals better under the soft tissue.

When to pick this hybrid

Choose it when a single-action rongeur stalls but a full Leksell feels too heavy. In that middle ground, it gives a pleasing balance. Consequently, many trauma trays include one.
