Abstract:
A rongeur includes a lower member, a footplate, an upper member and an extension. The lower member is elongate along a first longitudinal axis. The footplate extends upwardly from a distal end portion of the lower member. The footplate includes a first cutting element that defines an apex spaced farthest upwardly from the first longitudinal axis. The upper member includes a second cutting element and is movable relative to the lower member. The extension is provided on the footplate and fixed to the footplate. The extension extends away from the first cutting element a maximum distance D1 measured upwardly from the apex and a maximum distance D2 measured laterally from the first cutting element and perpendicular to D1, where D1≠D2, and when D1>0 the extension is laterally confined between opposite lateral sides of the footplate above the apex of the first cutting element in an upward direction.
