Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 200mm, thin footplate angled up 40° 2.0mm bite 15.0mm opening, cherry handle

Targeted Reach and Controlled Bone Removal

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a surgical biting instrument used to remove small portions of bone and other hard tissue during tissue-access procedures. Its 200mm working length supports reach into deeper operative fields, while the thin footplate angled 40° upward helps position the instrument for controlled access and a clear working approach. The 2.0mm bite and 15.0mm opening suit tasks requiring focused removal rather than broad bites. A cherry handle provides a distinct grip surface for identification and handling. This configuration is relevant to general surgery and neurosurgery workflows where precise instrument placement and dependable manual control are important.

Use Cases

• Use in general surgery procedures requiring focused bone removal with a Kerrison-style rongeur.
• Support neurosurgical access tasks where a 200mm working length helps reach deeper operative sites.
• Position the 40° upward-angled footplate to approach selected areas from a suitable working angle.
• Use the 2.0mm bite for controlled, localized rongeur work.
• Use the 15.0mm opening when a broader jaw opening is appropriate for the task.
