ABSTRACT:
A surgical rongeur for cutting bone or tissue is provided. The rongeur has an elongated track member, and a generally hollow cutting slide defining an inner cavity slidably received within the track member. The distal end of the cutting slide terminates in a sharp cutting edge and an opening. The distal end of the track member terminates in a foot plate. The cutting slide is longitudinally movable relative to the track member from a first open position to a second closed position. In the first open position, there is an opening between the sharp cutting edge and the foot plate, in which opening the bone to be cut is placed. In the second closed position the sharp cutting edge contacts the foot plate, cuts the bone and pushes the bone chip through the opening into the inner cavity of the cutting slide, where multiple bone chips may be stored.
