11-1270-21 | Stille-Leur Rongeur
The 11-1270-21 Stille-Leur Rongeur is a 21.5 cm, 8 1/2 inch double-action instrument with
curved 10 x 16 mm jaws. Its dimensions make it a useful choice when the surgical team wants a
combination of moderate reach, curved access, and a relatively broad biting profile. For
surgeons selecting specialized bone surgery instruments, this configuration provides a distinct alternative to
straight and narrower rongeurs.
The curved shaft changes the angle at which the jaws meet the bone. This can be valuable
when direct alignment is inconvenient because of surrounding anatomy or the position of the
operative field. Meanwhile, the 10 x 16 mm jaws provide more working surface than fine rongeur
patterns intended for smaller bites.
Instrument-specific advantages include:
● 21.5 cm length: Offers useful reach while keeping the instrument within a manageable
size range.
● Curved configuration: Allows the jaws to approach bone from an offset angle.
● 10 x 16 mm jaws: Provide a substantial biting area for controlled bone removal.
● Double-action mechanism: Helps transfer hand movement through the mechanism
with less effort at closure.
● Stille-Leur pattern: Gives the instrument a defined role within orthopedic and bone
resection sets.
This model can be especially useful when the operative approach calls for both curvature and a
broader jaw. Its size also provides an intermediate option between shorter rongeurs and long
spinal instruments.
A properly organized instrument set benefits from having different jaw geometries available
rather than relying on one configuration for every procedure. The 11-1270-21 adds that flexibility
in a practical format.
Add this curved Stille-Leur rongeur to your operating room set.
