Lempert Rongeur Forceps 19cm – German Stainless Steel Fine Bone Rongeur for Otologic Surgery, 7.5 Inch

The Lempert Rongeur Forceps 19cm (PS-9316) is a German stainless steel fine bone rongeur with an overall length of 7.5 inches (19cm), sharing the Lempert pattern lineage used across the otologic and neuro-otologic rongeur range at Peak Surgicals. This listing's overall length matches the PS-9302 configuration (7½" / 19cm) within the separately listed Lempert Rongeur Forceps product (PS-9302/PS-9303/PS-9304), which strongly suggests this single-variant listing represents the same physical instrument as PS-9302 rather than a functionally distinct product — though this listing's data does not specify the jaw width and jaw depth dimensions that the PS-9302/9303/9304 listing provides for each of its three configurations. As with all Lempert pattern rongeurs, this instrument is designed for the fine, precise bone removal required in otologic surgery — mastoidectomy, cholesteatoma removal, and lateral skull base approaches — where the temporal bone structures being addressed are smaller and more delicate, and surrounded by more functionally critical structures (the facial nerve, ossicular chain, and labyrinth), than the bone addressed by rongeur patterns designed for hand surgery or spinal/cranial neurosurgery. Manufactured from German stainless steel. CE Mark, ISO 13485, FDA certification. Sold as 1 piece, 7.5" (19cm), $24.20. Clinicians and procurement officers should contact Peak Surgicals at info@peaksurgicals.com to confirm the relationship between this listing and the PS-9302 configuration in the main Lempert Rongeur Forceps product before ordering, to avoid unintentionally duplicating or confusing inventory.

The Lempert Pattern: Fine Bone Rongeur for Otologic Surgery

The Lempert rongeur pattern, named for the otologic surgeon Julius Lempert, is designed for the precise, small-scale bone removal characteristic of temporal bone surgery — a category of bone work distinguished from spinal, cranial, or hand surgery rongeur applications by the combination of delicate bone structures and the close proximity of functionally critical anatomy. In mastoidectomy and related otologic procedures, the surgeon works within a field typically only a few centimeters across, removing the mastoid air cell system and related temporal bone structures while protecting the facial nerve, the ossicular chain, and the labyrinth, all of which lie close to the bone being addressed. The fine, scoop-shaped jaw geometry characteristic of the Lempert pattern — narrow in width and designed to capture and remove small bone fragments cleanly — is suited specifically to this precision-demanding bone removal task, in contrast to the broader, higher-force jaw designs used in spinal and cranial rongeur patterns such as the Leksell pattern, or the bone removal demands of hand surgery addressed by the Kleinert-Kutz pattern.

Relationship to the Standard Lempert Rongeur Forceps Listing

Peak Surgicals separately lists the Lempert Rongeur Forceps as a three-configuration product (PS-9302, PS-9303, PS-9304), with PS-9302 specified at 7mm x 2.5mm jaw dimensions and an overall length of 7½" (19cm) — the same overall length as this PS-9316 listing. Given this length match, and the absence of jaw width or jaw depth specification in the available data for PS-9316, it is likely that this listing represents the same physical instrument as PS-9302 under a separate product page, rather than a distinct configuration with different functional characteristics. This kind of overlapping listing can occur during catalog migration, when a product is re-listed under a more search-friendly URL or title (in this case, "19cm" appended directly to the product name, which may aid search visibility for buyers searching by metric length) without the original listing being merged or redirected. Clinicians and procurement officers should confirm directly with Peak Surgicals at info@peaksurgicals.com whether PS-9316 and PS-9302 represent the same instrument before placing duplicate orders, and the product team should review whether these two listings should be consolidated to avoid splitting search visibility and inventory tracking across two pages for what may be a single product.

German Stainless Steel Construction and Sterilization

The Lempert Rongeur Forceps 19cm is manufactured from German stainless steel, providing the corrosion resistance and structural integrity required of a reusable surgical instrument with fine jaw dimensions that must maintain precise alignment and sharpness across repeated use and sterilization cycles, consistent with the material specification of the broader Lempert pattern range. As with all fine bone rongeurs in this pattern, particular care should be taken during handling, cleaning, and storage to avoid jaw tip deformation from contact with other instruments, given the narrow jaw geometry characteristic of the Lempert design. The jaw cutting edges and pivot mechanism should be inspected at each reprocessing cycle for sharpness, correct alignment, and smooth hinge action, ideally under magnification given the small scale of the jaw geometry typical of this pattern. Compatible with steam autoclave sterilization at 134°C pre-vacuum parameters, with ultrasonic cleaning recommended before terminal sterilization for thorough removal of fine bone debris from the jaw and hinge areas.

CE Mark, ISO 13485, and FDA Certification for ENT and Otologic Instrument Procurement

The Lempert Rongeur Forceps 19cm PS-9316 is manufactured under a quality management system certified to ISO 13485, governing German stainless steel material sourcing, precision forging and machining of the fine bone rongeur jaw geometry, cutting edge sharpness and dimensional inspection, hinge mechanism precision, and packaging. CE Mark certification confirms conformity with European Medical Device Regulation requirements for Class I reusable surgical instruments distributed within EU and associated regulatory territories. FDA compliance documentation is maintained for United States distribution, satisfying regulatory requirements for reusable otologic and ENT surgical instruments procured by US hospitals, ENT and otology practices, and surgical instrument distributors. These certifications satisfy procurement and tender documentation requirements of institutional buyers in the USA, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, and across international surgical instrument supply frameworks. Certificates of conformity and quality management system documentation are available on request. OEM manufacturing is available within the same certified manufacturing framework.

Product Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same instrument as PS-9302 in the main Lempert Rongeur Forceps listing?
This listing's overall length (7.5" / 19cm) is identical to the PS-9302 configuration in the separately listed Lempert Rongeur Forceps product, which specifies 7mm x 2.5mm jaws at the same 7½" (19cm) overall length. This listing does not provide jaw width or jaw depth specifications, making it impossible to confirm from the available data whether this is the same physical instrument listed twice under different product pages, or a genuinely distinct configuration. Given the matching overall length and the otherwise identical pattern, material, and certification specifications, clinicians and procurement officers should contact Peak Surgicals at info@peaksurgicals.com to confirm the precise relationship between PS-9316 and PS-9302 before placing an order, to ensure they are not duplicating an existing order or missing relevant jaw dimension information needed to confirm this instrument's suitability for a specific procedure.

What is the Lempert rongeur pattern used for?
The Lempert rongeur pattern is associated with otologic and neuro-otologic surgery, particularly mastoidectomy and related procedures for chronic ear disease, cholesteatoma, and lateral skull base approaches to the cerebellopontine angle and internal auditory canal. Its fine, scoop-shaped jaw geometry is designed for the precise, small-scale bone removal required when working close to critical structures including the facial nerve, ossicular chain, and labyrinth within the temporal bone. This precision-oriented design distinguishes the Lempert pattern from rongeur patterns designed for higher-volume bone removal in spinal, cranial, or hand surgery.

Why might this product be listed separately with "19cm" in the name rather than as a variant of the main Lempert Rongeur Forceps listing?
Listing a specific configuration under its own product page with the metric length included in the title (as with this "19cm" listing) can serve a search visibility purpose — some buyers search by the metric measurement rather than the imperial measurement, and a dedicated page with "19cm" in the title and URL may rank for those search terms more directly than a variant within a larger multi-configuration listing. However, this approach can also result in genuine duplicate listings if the same physical instrument is represented on two separate product pages without clear cross-referencing or consolidation, which can confuse buyers comparing the two listings and split search ranking signals that would otherwise be concentrated on a single authoritative product page. The product team should determine whether maintaining this as a separate listing serves a genuine purpose or whether it should be merged with or clearly cross-referenced to the main Lempert Rongeur Forceps listing.

What sterilization protocol is recommended for this instrument?
The Lempert Rongeur Forceps 19cm is manufactured from German stainless steel and is fully compatible with steam autoclave sterilization at 134°C pre-vacuum parameters. Given the fine jaw geometry typical of the Lempert pattern, particular care should be taken during handling, cleaning, and storage to avoid jaw tip deformation from contact with other instruments. Ultrasonic cleaning before terminal sterilization is recommended for thorough debris removal from the jaw and hinge areas. At each reprocessing cycle, inspect the jaw cutting edges for sharpness, alignment, and any deformation, and check the hinge for smooth action.
