The Micro Friedmann-Pearson Rongeur is used for precision bone removal in micro-skull surgery on rodents — opening cranial windows, enlarging burr holes, and removing bone fragments during stereotaxic procedures, electrode implantation, and viral injection workflows.

The Micro Friedmann-Pearson Rongeur is manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel (Inox), providing excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and autoclave compatibility.

Yes. The Micro Friedmann-Pearson Rongeur withstands standard autoclave cycles (121 °C, 15 min) and can be reused across many procedures when properly cleaned, inspected, and lubricated at the joint.

The 0.5 mm cup of the Micro Friedmann-Pearson Rongeur (16220-14) is sized for the thin cranial bone of mice and rats, matching the anatomical scale needed for rodent stereotaxic and cranial surgery.

The Micro Friedmann-Pearson Rongeur (16220-14) has a 0.5 mm cup designed for the delicate cranial bone of mice and rats, while the standard Friedmann-Pearson (16020-14) has a larger 2.5 mm cup better suited to thicker bone in larger species. For rodent neurosurgery, the micro version is the correct choice.
