Leksell-type double-action bone rongeur
Scissor-action, scoop-jawed hand rongeur for biting and removing bone; mechanically distinct from the already-catalogued Kerrison rongeur (which has a footplate/plunger mechanism for working in confined epidural spaces).
How it is used
Bulk removal of lamina/bone during open laminectomy or discectomy, cranial or spinal, before finer Kerrison work near the dura.
