11-1218-15 | Chichirelli (Blumenthal)
Rongeur
The 11-1218-15 Chichirelli, also known as Blumenthal, Rongeur is built around a 15 cm (6 inch)
length, a 45 degree curved configuration, and 4 x 13 mm jaws. This combination gives the
instrument a balance between access and cutting capacity. Rather than using a straight rongeur
for every approach, the curved profile allows the surgeon to position the jaws from a different
angle when anatomy or the operative field makes direct access inconvenient.
For facilities maintaining bone surgery instruments, this model offers a useful option for procedures requiring
a moderate jaw size and angled access.
What distinguishes this rongeur:
● 15 cm length: Provides practical reach while retaining maneuverability.
● 45 degree curvature: Helps the surgeon approach bone from an angled orientation.
● 4 x 13 mm jaws: Provide a relatively substantial working area for controlled bone
removal.
● Single-action mechanism: Allows direct operation of the jaws during resection.
● Chichirelli (Blumenthal) pattern: Provides a recognizable configuration for orthopedic
and neurosurgical instrument sets.
The product page identifies laminectomy, facetectomy, and decompression procedures among
its applications. The combination of curved access and generous jaws makes it suitable where
the surgical task requires more bone removal capacity than a micro rongeur can provide.
Instrument selection should always reflect the anatomy and amount of bone requiring removal.
The 11-1218-15 offers a useful middle ground between delicate and larger-capacity rongeurs.
Add this Chichirelli Rongeur to an appropriately configured orthopedic or neurosurgical
instrument set.
