Ruskin Rongeur

Which Ruskin Rongeur Do You Need?

Clinical Use of the Ruskin Rongeur

• Double action: the second joint multiplies force so dense bone is cut with less hand effort.
• Alveoloplasty: smoothing sharp bone edges after extraction.

Care and Reconditioning

Zepf surgical instruments are resharpened, re-aligned and reconditioned by our sharpening and reconditioning service when the working end dulls. Clean, disinfect and sterilize between patients.

Warranty and Our Guarantee

Every Zepf instrument on this page carries a one-year Helmut Zepf Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship (Zepf extraction forceps carry a lifetime warranty). And because an instrument can only be judged in the hand, you have 60 days to return it for any reason — even after you have used it. Try it on real cases; if it is not the instrument for you, send it back.
