Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 305mm, thin footplate angled up 40° 3.0mm bite 15.0mm opening large handle

Extended Reach and Directional Access for Precise Rongeur Handling

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a hand-held surgical instrument for controlled biting and removal of small amounts of bone, supporting access-focused work in general surgery and neurosurgery. Its 305mm working length extends reach where a longer shaft is useful, while the extra-thin footplate supports close approach around the operative site. A 40° up angle positions the 3mm bite for directional access, and the Spurling handle provides the named handling format for repeated instrument manipulation. The 15.0mm opening accommodates the bite action between squeezes, helping teams select a rongeur suited to their planned technique and access requirements.

Use Cases

• Use for bone-biting tasks in general surgery where a long working length and angled-up orientation support access.
• Support neurosurgical rongeur work requiring an extra-thin footplate and directional 3mm bite.
• Reach operative sites with the 305mm working length while maintaining the instrument orientation required by the procedure.
• Use the 40° up angle to approach tissue and bone from an elevated direction during access-focused work.
• Apply the Spurling Kerrison format for repeated hand manipulation during surgical workflows.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the rongeur according to the facility protocol and applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the bite, footplate, angled working end, and handle before and after use for visible damage or impaired movement.
• Handle the thin footplate carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help prevent bending or impact damage.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the working end from contact with other instruments.
