Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 180mm, thin footplate angled up 40° 6.0mm bite 15.0mm opening, cherry handle

Precision Bone Removal with Enhanced Visibility

The Spurling Kerrison Rongeur is a specialized surgical instrument designed for precise removal of bone and tissue in confined surgical fields. Its 180mm working length provides extended reach, while the 40° upward angle and extra-thin footplate improve visualization and access, particularly in procedures where a clear line of sight is critical. The 6.0mm bite and 15.0mm opening allow for controlled, efficient bone resection. The cherry handle offers a comfortable, familiar grip, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use. This rongeur is a reliable choice for surgeons requiring accuracy and maneuverability in both general and neurosurgical applications.

Use Cases

• Performing laminectomy and foraminotomy procedures in spinal surgery, where precise bone removal is essential to decompress neural structures.
• Resecting bone or soft tissue in confined spaces, such as the posterior fossa or transsphenoidal approaches, where the angled footplate enhances visualization.
• Fine-tuning bone edges or removing osteophytes in joint surgery, particularly in areas with limited access.
• Creating a clean bone margin or enlarging a bony opening during general surgical procedures that require controlled bone removal.

Care & Handling

• After each use, thoroughly clean the instrument to remove all tissue and debris, paying special attention to the hinge and footplate areas.
• Inspect the instrument for damage, wear, or misalignment, particularly the cutting edges and the hinge mechanism, before and after each use.
• Handle the instrument carefully to avoid dropping or impacting it, as this may damage the delicate footplate or alter the angle.
• Store the rongeur in a protective tray or case to prevent damage during storage and transport.
