Precision Bone Removal in Confined Surgical Fields

The Kerrison micro rongeur is a specialized instrument designed for precise removal of bone and tissue in delicate surgical procedures. With a 200mm working length and a thin footplate angled down 40°, this rongeur provides excellent access and visibility in deep or narrow surgical sites. The 2.0mm bite and 9.0mm opening allow for controlled, incremental bone removal, while the small handle offers a familiar grip and enhanced tactile feedback for fine manipulation. Ideal for general surgery and neurosurgery, this micro rongeur supports meticulous dissection and decompression with minimal tissue disruption.

Use Cases

• Performing laminectomy or foraminotomy procedures where precise bone removal is required.
• Creating bone grafts or shaping bone edges in reconstructive surgeries.
• Removing osteophytes or bone spurs that impinge on nerves or surrounding structures.
• Fine dissection and bone work in confined spaces, such as the posterior cervical spine or skull base.
• Trimming bone edges to achieve a smooth contour and reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
