Cuts bone during feline mandibulectomy and canine maxillary tumor resection where controlled bone bites are needed around sensitive neurovascular structures. The veterinary bone-cutting forceps nibble cortical bone at the resection margin of oral tumors in cats and small-breed dogs. Soft-tissue surgeons pair them with Gelpi retractors for oral and maxillofacial oncologic procedures.

Removes osteophytes and abnormal bone during canine hip dysplasia salvage procedures and arthroscopic debridement of the elbow joint. The veterinary double-action rongeur fits within the limited joint space of medium-breed dogs during femoral head ostectomy site preparation. Equine and small-animal orthopedic surgeons use it to smooth the acetabular rim after resection arthroplasty.
