What material is used for the construction?
The instrument is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, finished with a black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating. This combination provides the necessary strength, corrosion resistance, and durability required for reusable surgical instruments.
Is this a reusable surgical instrument?
Yes, this is a reusable surgical-grade instrument. It is built for longevity and durability, designed to withstand the rigorous demands of professional orthopedic and neurosurgical environments.
How long is the shaft of this rongeur?
The instrument measures 10 inches in total length, providing the appropriate reach and leverage required for accessing the vertebral arch during spinal laminectomy procedures.
How should this instrument be handled for sterilization?
As this is a non-sterile, reusable surgical instrument, it must be processed according to your facility’s standard protocols for the cleaning and sterilization of stainless steel surgical equipment before its first use and between subsequent procedures.
