The invention is an improved multi-bite bone cutting rongeur (10) with an ultrathin foot plate (16) and a disposable cutting element and storage chamber unit. The present invention has an integrated cutting element and storage chamber unit (50) that is truly disposable, rather than merely replaceable. The present invention requires the use of no tools or special assembly. The chamber is simply placed onto the shaft whereby it is immediately locked into place by the use of the instrument. The cutting element and storage chamber unit comprises a carrier member and a tubular member (90) configured to be removably inserted at least in part into the open interior of said carrier member and having an open end adapted to contact said foot plate and cut pieces of bone cartilage. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> |
