11-1266-21 | Stille-Leur Rongeur
When the surgeon needs a larger biting surface without moving immediately to a very long
instrument, the 11-1266-21 Stille-Leur Rongeur offers a useful middle-ground configuration. It
measures 21.5 cm, or 8 1/2 inches, and features a double-action mechanism with 10 x 18 mm
jaws. The product page identifies both straight and curved configurations, allowing the
instrument to be selected according to the preferred operative approach.
The 10 x 18 mm jaw dimensions are a defining feature. Compared with narrower rongeurs, this
working end provides a larger biting area, making it appropriate when the surgeon needs to
remove more substantial portions of bone through controlled bites.
Key characteristics:
● 21.5 cm length: Provides useful reach without the additional length of larger
deep-access models.
● 10 x 18 mm jaws: Offer a broad working area for bone removal.
● Double-action mechanism: Provides mechanical assistance during jaw closure and
repeated resection.
● Straight or curved configuration: Gives the surgical team flexibility when choosing the
appropriate approach.
● Stille-Leur pattern: Provides a recognizable rongeur design for orthopedic and bone
procedures.
This model can be particularly useful in instrument sets where surgeons need a rongeur
capable of more substantial bone nibbling than narrow-jaw instruments provide. The 21.5 cm
size also gives it a practical place between compact and extended instruments.
For a comprehensive range of bone surgery instruments, different jaw sizes and shaft lengths are important
because operative access is not uniform from one procedure to another.
Add the 11-1266-21 Stille-Leur Rongeur to your orthopedic set.
