Abstract
A rongeur surgical instrument having an offset bayonet portion for allowing microscopic visualization of an operating field. The rongeur instrument is designed with a composite shank member that includes an offset bayonet portion that interconnects a proximate shank portion to a distal shank portion. The offset bayonet portion on the rongeur facilitates operating microscope dependent operative procedures, such as microscopic osseous dissections. The offset bayonet structure maintains the mechanical objective of actuating the bite-end of the rongeur via angled shank portions on the stationary and movable shank members of the rongeur. The offset bayonet structure is applied to a curette surgical instrument for allowing microscopic visualization of an operating field when using this type of instrument.
