Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 150mm, thin footplate angled up 90° 5.0mm bite 15.0mm opening large handle

Controlled Kerrison Access for General and Neurosurgical Work

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a surgical rongeur intended for controlled removal of small amounts of tissue or bone during operative work. Its 150mm working length supports access into deeper fields, while the thin footplate and 90° upward angle help position the biting end where a straight approach may be difficult. The Spurling large handle provides a substantial gripping surface for instrument handling during repetitive tasks. With a 5mm bite, it is suited to precise, incremental work in General Surgery and Neurosurgery where reach, orientation, and measured instrument placement are important to the operative workflow.

Use Cases

• General Surgery tasks requiring a Kerrison-style rongeur for controlled removal in a confined operative field.
• Neurosurgery workflows where the 150mm working length supports access to deeper surgical sites.
• Procedures requiring an upward-facing 90° bite orientation to approach the target from below or around an obstruction.
• Fine, incremental rongeur work supported by the 5mm bite and thin footplate configuration.
• Repeated handling tasks where the large Spurling handle provides a substantial surface for instrument control.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the rongeur promptly after use according to facility procedures and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the thin footplate, biting mechanism, handle, and angled working end for residue, damage, or restricted movement before reuse.
• Handle the working end carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to protect the footplate and biting surfaces.
• Store the instrument in a manner that prevents contact damage to the angled tip and working mechanism.
