The Smith Peterson Rongeur is used to manipulate bone fragments during various orthopedic procedures. It features a fully curved structure with sharp jaws to hold the bones precisely without causing any damage to the nearby sites. In addition, it has a plier-style handle with a double-action mechanism to provide a firm grip, which reduces accidental injuries due to tool slippage.
Additionally, the instrument’s ergonomic design reduces strain on the surgeons’ hands. Its surface is also inert to many chemical reactions and has high tensile strength. It is rust-proof, steam sterilizable, and available in different variations.
