Surgical Bone Rongeur – Micro Friedman 30° 14.5cm

The Surgical Bone Rongeur – Micro Friedman 30° 14.5cm has an overall length of 14.5 cm with working jaws angled at a shallow 30° deflection from the instrument axis. The full body is constructed from medical-grade stainless steel, making it corrosion-resistant and compatible with standard autoclave sterilization protocols. A single-action spring pivot sits at the mid-shaft joint and resets the jaws to the open position after each biting motion. Both handle shanks carry uniform serrated ridges along their inner surfaces, giving the operator a firm grip without requiring excessive hand tension.

The narrow cup-shaped jaw tip measures approximately 1.3 mm in width, small enough to work within confined cancellous bone sites without disturbing adjacent structures. The surgical rongeur single-action mechanism keeps the instrument’s footprint minimal, which matters in tight intraoral access zones. At 30°, the jaw deflection is the shallowest in the Micro Friedman angle range, placing the cutting face in a near-axial alignment that suits straight-on anterior approaches where steeper angles would overcorrect the bite trajectory.

Rongeurs bone instruments at this angulation are used by oral and maxillofacial surgeons during pre-prosthetic alveoloplasty, where anterior ridge irregularities must be leveled before full-arch denture fabrication. Periodontists also select this instrument for osseous contouring along the labial plate of the upper or lower anterior sextants. The Surgical Bone Rongeur – Micro Friedman 30° 14.5cm fits naturally into implant site preparation workflows where flat-approach bone trimming is needed before osteotomy drilling begins.

Behind every instrument in a Leader Surgical tray is a manufacturing standard that doesn’t waver, surgeons return not out of habit but because each tool arrives sharp, dimensionally consistent, and ready to perform from the very first use.

What does “30°” and “14.5 cm” signify?
The 30° angle refers to the curvature of the jaws, designed to improve line-of-sight and access to posterior or difficult-to-reach areas. The 14.5 cm (approx. 5.7 inches) is the total instrument length, suitable for a comfortable, balanced grip.
