Hu-Friedy Cleveland Rongeurs

Cleveland Rongeurs are traditional pattern-specific rongeurs designed for trimming and recontouring alveolar bone and removal of gross tissue during oral surgery and periodontal procedures. The Cleveland pattern is offered in both end-cutting and side-cutting configurations to support direct or lateral access depending on surgical requirements.

Clinical Applications

Cleveland Rongeurs are commonly used for:

• Alveolar bone trimming and recontouring

• Removal of sharp bony edges

• Alveoloplasty

• Lateral bone reduction in confined surgical fields
