Bone Rongeur Micro Friedman 90° 14.5cm

The Bone Rongeur Micro Friedman 90° 14.5cm measures 14.5 cm in total length and carries a 1.3 mm narrow cup-shaped jaw tip set at a full 90° reverse angle; the jaw face sits completely perpendicular to the instrument shaft and faces the operator. The body is constructed from medical-grade stainless steel throughout, autoclave-compatible and rated for repeated sterilization cycles without surface degradation. A single-action spring pivot at the mid-shaft joint returns the jaws to the open position after each compression. Both handle shanks carry parallel serrated ridges along their inner surfaces, providing a stable non-slip grip during intraoral use.

At a full 90° perpendicular jaw angle, this instrument addresses a specific problem no forward-angled rongeur can solve, engaging bone surfaces that run horizontally across the operative field. The bone rongeurs narrow 1.3 mm cup tip seats directly against flat or concave bony ledges, socket floors, and palatal shelves without requiring wrist rotation or instrument repositioning to align the cutting face.

Bone rongeur universal instruments rarely cover the complete angular range that intraoral bone surgery demands, which is precisely where this 90° reverse configuration fills the gap. Periodontists use this instrument during osseous surgery to trim horizontal bony craters and flat interdental ledges that lie beneath the gingival margin. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons reach for the Bone Rongeur Micro Friedman 90° 14.5cm during alveoloplasty to address the socket floor bone directly after molar extractions, and during pre-implant ridge preparation where lateral bone walls meet the floor at right angles.

Operating room coordinators who stock Leader Surgical across their full instrument trays will tell you the same thing, when you open the packaging, the instrument does exactly what the specification says, every time, without exceptions or surprises.

Why use a 90° angle specifically?
The 90° angled jaws allow for a perpendicular cutting approach. This is ideal for working efficiently around anatomical curves, narrow surgical sites, and posterior areas where straight instruments have limited access.
