Description

Zaufal Bone Rongeur Forceps

The Zaufal bone rongeur is an 18 cm instrument with straight jaws. It comes from ear surgery and nibbles thin bone with fine control.

Ear surgery roots

Emanuel Zaufal worked on diseases of the ear and mastoid in Prague. Instruments bearing the name tend to be fine and precise. Besides, this rongeur follows that pattern closely.

Straight jaws

Straight jaws bite in line with the handles. Therefore the surgeon can aim easily in open access. They also give a clear view of each bite.

Who uses the Zaufal bone rongeur

ENT surgeons open mastoid cells and sinus walls with it. Beyond the head and neck, it trims thin cortex in the hand. Furthermore, some oral surgeons use it on ridge edges as well.

Working with thin bone

Use light squeezes, since thin bone cracks if forced. Then check the edge often. Also, small bites keep the shape under control.

Choosing straight jaws

Straight jaws are the easiest to aim and to clean. However, they reach only bone in front of them. For angled work, the Zaufal-Jansen or a curved rongeur may suit better.

Zaufal bone rongeur details

• 18 cm long
• Straight jaws
• Fine nibbling cups
• Ships non-sterile

Cleaning a fine rongeur

Flush the small cups right away, as dried blood is hard to shift. Dry the rongeur well. Additionally, a trace of lubricant on the hinge keeps the spring action smooth.

The promise on each rongeur

We underwrite each rongeur for three years against manufacturing defects from delivery. Someone at our Atlanta base assesses every rongeur in detail before it ships. Some trays also hold our Zaufal-Jansen rongeur. We can check sizes by email. Similar patterns sit in our orthopedics category. For order basics, try the customer FAQ. Many departments hold two of these so a case never waits. Surgical instrument steel falls under a standard: ASTM F899.

Clinical use by professionals. Transit times are on our shipping policy. Listing photos are for reference, and this alloy contains nickel; see the care instructions for details.
