Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 180mm, thin footplate angled down 90° 6.0mm bite 15.0mm opening large handle

Controlled access and precise biting for surgical exposure

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a surgical rongeur used to bite and remove bone during procedures requiring controlled exposure. Its 180mm working length supports access into deeper operative fields, while the thin footplate and 90° downward angle help position the biting end close to the intended site. Suitable for general surgery and neurosurgery applications, its angled form and Spurling handle design support practical instrument handling where reach, positioning, and clear access are important to the operative workflow.

Use Cases

• Removing small portions of bone to assist surgical exposure in general surgery procedures.
• Supporting bone-biting work in neurosurgical approaches where a long working length is useful.
• Positioning the 90° downward-angled footplate against the target area for controlled access.
• Working in deeper operative fields with the 180mm working length while maintaining a practical instrument grip.

Care & Handling

• Clean the rongeur promptly after use in accordance with facility procedures and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the thin footplate, biting edges, hinge, and handle before use for visible damage, distortion, or restricted movement.
• Handle the angled footplate carefully to avoid impact or contact with other instruments during transport, cleaning, and storage.
• Store the rongeur in a manner that protects the biting end and prevents unnecessary instrument-to-instrument contact.
