Mastoid rongeurs are specialized surgical instruments designed for cutting, gouging, or removing bone during otologic (ear) surgeries, particularly mastoidectomy procedures. These instruments feature strong, sharp, and durable jaws capable of precise bone removal in the mastoid region of the temporal bone. Typically made from high-grade stainless steel, mastoid rongeurs come in various jaw shapes—such as straight, curved, or angled—to accommodate different anatomical areas and surgeon preferences. Their ergonomic handles ensure a firm grip and controlled force application, making them essential tools in ENT and neurosurgical practices.
