Ferris-Smith kerrison rongeur working length 180mm angled up 40° 6.0mm bite, ergonomic ring handle

Controlled Access and Confident Handling for Precise Rongeur Work

The Ferris-Smith Kerrison rongeur is designed for controlled removal of small amounts of bone or tissue during surgical procedures, combining a 180mm working length with a 40° upward-angled, 6mm bite. Its extended reach supports access within the operative field, while the angled profile can help position the bite where a straight instrument may be less convenient. The ergonomic ring handle provides a familiar grip for measured manipulation during General Surgery and Neurosurgery workflows. This configuration supports practical handling when access, instrument orientation, and bite placement must be managed carefully without unnecessary repositioning.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled rongeur work where the 6mm bite is appropriate for the task.
• Apply the 40° upward angle when approaching a target from an elevated direction within the operative field.
• Use the 180mm working length to support access in procedures requiring extended reach.
• In General Surgery workflows, use as a Kerrison rongeur for task-focused removal of small amounts of bone or tissue.
• In Neurosurgery workflows, use the angled profile and ring handle to support deliberate instrument positioning in confined operative areas.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the rongeur according to the facility's validated procedures and applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the bite, angled shaft, joints, and ring handle before and after use for visible damage, residue, or impaired movement.
• Handle the bite carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help protect its working edges.
• Store the instrument in a manner that prevents contact damage and allows inspection before the next use.
