Abstract

See full text

A rongeur (40) has a stem (b), comprising a manipulating end (A) and a working end, and at the manipulating end a grip (42, 44) that is angled in a direction away from the stem. Arranged at a second, working end is a mouth (50), which lies substantially on the side of the stem away from the grip, and a pivotable mouth part (52). The mouth part is mounted at its distal end on the stem in such a way that the opening of the mouth faces the working end of the stem; it is therefore a rongeur of which the working direction, that is to say the scraping and cutting direction of the mouth part when it closes, faces the surgeon. In this case, the stem has a curvature or angling that lies in particular close to the working end, but proximal in relation to the mouth, and which likewise has at least one component pointing away from the angling direction of the grip.
