Love-Kerrison rongeur working length 305mm, thin footplate angled up 40° 6.0mm bite large handle

Long-Reach Control for Focused Rongeur Work

The Love-Kerrison rongeur is a surgical biting instrument designed for controlled removal of small portions of tissue or bone in confined operative areas. Its 305mm working length provides extended reach, while the extra-thin footplate and 40° upward angle support access and visibility when approaching the target from a chosen direction. The 6mm bite offers a substantial working opening for applicable rongeur tasks, and the large handle is configured for practical manipulation during repeated instrument handling. Suitable for use across General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this angled design supports focused work where reach, orientation, and careful control are important.

Use Cases

• Use in General Surgery for rongeur tasks requiring extended reach and an upward-angled approach.
• Use in Neurosurgery when a long working length and thin footplate are appropriate to the operative access required.
• Apply the 40° upward angle when approaching the working area from below or along an upward-directed path.
• Use the 6mm bite for applicable removal tasks that call for a larger rongeur opening.
