Rongeur
[rohn-zhur; Fr. rawn-zhœr]
A rongeur is a strongly constructed instrument with a sharp-edged, scoop-shaped tip, used for gouging out bone. Rongeur is a French word that means rodent or 'gnawer'. A rongeur can be used to open a window in bone, often in the skull. It is used in neurosurgery to expose areas for operation.
