Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 178mm, regular footplate angled up 40° 4.0mm bite medium handle

Controlled Access for Bone Rongeur Work

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a surgical bone-biting instrument designed for controlled removal of small amounts of bone where access and directional control matter. Its 178mm working length supports reach into operative fields while the 40° up angle helps orient the bite toward the intended area. The 4mm bite provides a practical balance between tissue access and removal efficiency for suitable tasks. In General Surgery and Neurosurgery, its angled form can support deliberate handling in confined anatomy and help maintain a clear working approach during instrument-intensive procedures.

Use Cases

• Removing small portions of bone during suitable General Surgery procedures.
• Supporting controlled bone nibbling in Neurosurgery when an up-angled approach is appropriate.
• Accessing operative areas where the 178mm working length assists reach beyond the hand.
• Using the 40° upward direction to align the bite with the intended working surface.
• Applying the 4mm bite for measured, task-focused bone removal.
