Friedman nasal rongeur
Double-spring rongeur with small, delicate straight or slightly curved jaws, designed for thin bone.
How it is used
Removal of small fragments of nasal, septal or orbital-wall bone during septoplasty, bony rhinoplasty and orbital surgery; its jaws are too small and delicate for thick long bone.
Clinical tip
Some catalogs classify the Friedman as a generic orthopedic rongeur; US regulatory coding distinguishes it with a specific "nasal rongeur" product code for ENT use.
