Rongeurs

Rongeurs are robustly built tools featuring a sharp, scoop-like end, designed for carving out bone. The term 'rongeur' originates from French, translating to 'rodent' or 'gnawer'. This tool is employed to create an opening in the bone, frequently in the skull. It finds its application in neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery, facilitating the exposure of surgical sites or assisting in the extraction of brain tissue.
