11-1271-23 | Rottgen-Ruskin Bone
Rongeur
The 11-1271-23 Rottgen-Ruskin Bone Rongeur is a 23 cm, 9 inch instrument intended for
clinicians who require additional reach from a dedicated bone rongeur. The manufacturer
identifies it specifically as a Rottgen-Ruskin pattern and places it within the Bone Rongeurs
category. For orthopedic teams selecting bone surgery instruments, its 23 cm format provides another useful size
between standard and extended rongeurs.
The product page does not provide additional jaw dimensions or mechanism details, so this
description intentionally avoids assigning a specific jaw profile or action that has not been
confirmed. The 23 cm length itself is clinically relevant because instrument reach affects how
easily the working end can be positioned at different depths.
Why the size matters:
● 23 cm length: Provides extended working reach for procedures where a shorter rongeur
may not be sufficient.
● 9 inch format: Gives surgical teams a clear size reference when assembling instrument
sets.
● Rottgen-Ruskin pattern: Identifies a specific bone rongeur design rather than a generic
cutting instrument.
● Dedicated bone application: Keeps the instrument selection focused on controlled
bone removal and related surgical tasks.
● Intermediate reach: Bridges the gap between compact rongeurs and longer instruments
intended for deeper operative access.
The 11-1271-23 can be useful for orthopedic, trauma, and other procedures where the surgeon
needs a longer hand instrument but does not necessarily require a 26 or 27 cm model.
When building a complete bone surgery instruments inventory, size diversity matters because surgical
access varies considerably between procedures.
