摘要:
Tissue modification devices, and particularly very low-profile, yet strong and manipulatable Rongeur devices. In general, these devices are low-profile, with a flat and thin distal end that may be much thinner than it is wide. The distal end includes a cutting window within which one or more blades move to cut tissue. The distal end region and the curved region forming an angle with an elongate rigid body may be sufficiently stiff and rigid so that the distal end can be pushed (or pulled) against a tissue to be cut with sufficient force so that even hard tissue such as bone may be held within the window and cut by the blade(s).
