Also called Rongeur Forceps · Bone Biting Forceps
Single-action pattern with a broad oval cup, closed by hand force alone rather than through a second hinge.
A bone rongeur is a cutting forceps with cupped, scoop-form jaws whose rims are sharpened, so the closing jaw bites out a piece of bone and holds it in the cup. Single-action patterns have one joint and a spring return; double-action patterns add a second compound joint between the handles, which multiplies the force applied at the grip. Jaws are made straight, curved and angled, and the jaw or bite width is the main ordering variable alongside overall length. Handles are rounded or notched to resist slipping. The difference from a bone nipper is jaw form: the nipper's solid jaws cut through, the rongeur's cupped jaws bite and hold.

Quality control
The inspection step is set by the line you order.
- Economy line
- sample: visual + dimensional
- Clinical line
- sample + boil test
- Premium line
- tighter sample + hardness test
- Executive line
- 100% inspection + laser mark
Finish A color is a second choice, made on top of the line. Colored finishes on request, on any instrument, in addition to the steel line. Evidenced: black · gold · rose gold · blue · rainbow (anodised titanium).
How it is built
- Two-arm forceps with cupped, scoop-form jaws, rims ground sharp
- Single-action (one joint) or double-action (compound joint between the handles)
- Leaf or coil spring between the handles returns the jaws open
- Jaws made straight, curved and angled
- Jaw or bite width is the main ordering size, alongside overall length
- Handles rounded or notched to resist slipping
- Stainless steel; slender and heavy patterns made at the same length

Material and quality
| Line | Steel | Origin | Finish | Inspection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy line | AISI 410 | Pakistani or Taiwanese | satin, passivated | sample: visual + dimensional |
| Clinical line | AISI 420 | Pakistani or German | satin, passivated | sample + boil test |
| Premium line | AISI 420-440C | German or Japanese | fine polish, passivated | tighter sample + hardness test |
| Executive line | AISI 440C | German or Japanese | mirror polish, passivated | 100% inspection + laser mark |
This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.
Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.
True of every order
Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.
Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.
Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates
Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.
TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.
One-year guarantee on Premium and Executive tier instruments, hollowware and sterilization containers: any technical manufacturing defect, including material faults and rust, is replaced free of charge. Damage from handling or accidents is not covered. The year runs from the day the goods leave Sialkot.

Replacement instruments are sent free of charge and dispatched within 24 hours of us seeing them; you pay the shipping, and they reach you as a normal order does.
Damage that happened after the goods left Sialkot is a claim against your carrier. The video of your parcel at the shipping office is sent to you before shipment and is the evidence that claim needs.
