Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 150mm, thin footplate angled down 90° 4.0mm bite 15.0mm opening large handle

Controlled Access for Bone Removal in General and Neurosurgical Workflows

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a hand-held surgical instrument used to remove small portions of bone and create or refine access during operative work. Its 150mm working length supports reach into deeper fields, while the extra-thin footplate and 90° downward angle help position the bite at the intended site. A 4mm bite provides a defined working profile for controlled nibbling, and the angled shape can assist access where a straight instrument is less convenient. Suitable for applications across General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this rongeur supports deliberate handling and efficient instrument control during bone-removal tasks.

Use Cases

• Remove small portions of bone during General Surgery procedures where a Kerrison-style rongeur is appropriate.
• Support bone removal and access refinement in Neurosurgery workflows requiring a downward-angled instrument profile.
• Use the 90° downward orientation to approach target areas from a suitable angle within the operative field.
• Apply the 4mm bite for controlled, incremental rongeur work rather than broad tissue or bone removal.
• Use the 150mm working length when additional reach is useful for work in deeper surgical fields.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the rongeur according to the facility's validated protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the footplate, bite, angled working end, and handle before and after use for visible damage, distortion, or impaired movement.
• Handle the extra-thin footplate carefully to avoid contact with other instruments or surfaces that could deform the working end.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the bite and footplate from impact or compression.
