ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a surgical rongeur having a body, a replaceable hollow cutting member and an actuator for moving the cutting member. The body has a distal end and a proximal end. The body at the distal end has an extended member terminating in an anvil. Between the distal end and the proximal end is a hollow portion, and at the proximal end of the body is a handle which actuates the cutting member. The replaceable hollow cutting member is movable within and guided by said hollow portion of the body but extends beyond the body at the proximal end. The hollow cutting member is actuated to cut any bodily material positioned between the anvil of the body and the cutting member, capturing the cut material in the hollow cutting member.
