11-1224-16 | Mead Bone Rongeur
The 11-1224-16 Mead Bone Rongeur provides a 16.5 cm working length with curved 5 x 13 mm
jaws and a single-action mechanism. Its relatively generous jaw dimensions make it a useful
instrument when the surgeon needs efficient removal of bone while still retaining the access
provided by a curved working configuration.
Within a carefully selected range of bone surgery instruments, the Mead pattern occupies a practical position between
smaller delicate rongeurs and longer instruments intended for deeper access.
Instrument-specific considerations include:
● 16.5 cm length: Balances working reach with maneuverability around the operative
field.
● Curved configuration: Helps the surgeon reach anatomical locations where a straight
rongeur may be less convenient.
● 5 x 13 mm jaws: Provide a substantial working area for bone resection.
● Single-action mechanism: Allows straightforward control of the jaws during removal.
● Mead pattern: Provides a recognized option for orthopedic and neurosurgical bone
work.
The larger 5 x 13 mm jaw profile is particularly relevant when efficient bone removal is required.
The curvature can also help maintain access from a suitable direction while the operator works
around the anatomy.
The product page identifies spinal decompression and various orthopedic procedures as
applications. Selecting this rongeur should therefore be based on the amount of bone to be
removed and the access required for the specific case.
The 11-1224-16 provides a practical combination of jaw capacity, curvature, and reach. Add this
Mead Bone Rongeur to your orthopedic surgical inventory.
