Ferris-Smith IVD rongeur 9 1/2" working length 180mm curved down 6.0mm x 12.0mm cup jaws, finger grip handle

Controlled Reach and Focused Biting for Surgical Workflows

The Ferris-Smith IVD rongeur is a surgical biting instrument designed to remove small amounts of hard tissue or material during operative tasks. Its 180mm working length provides extended reach, while the curved-down profile and 6.0mm x 12.0mm cup jaws support access and focused biting in the working field. A finger-grip handle promotes deliberate instrument control during repeated manipulation. Suitable for general surgery and neurosurgery workflows, this rongeur offers a practical combination of reach, jaw geometry, and handling precision for tasks requiring a compact, controlled bite rather than broad tissue engagement.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting and removal of small amounts of hard tissue or material during general surgery procedures.
• Apply the extended working length when the operative site requires additional reach from the hand position.
• Use the curved-down profile to approach the working area while maintaining the instrument orientation needed for the task.
• Use the cup jaws for focused biting in neurosurgery and other surgical workflows requiring localized removal.
• Rely on the finger-grip handle for deliberate opening, positioning, and closing during repeated instrument handling.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the rongeur promptly after use in accordance with facility procedures and the applicable instrument instructions.
• Inspect the cup jaws, curved working end, and finger-grip handle for residue, damage, alignment, or impaired movement before reuse.
• Handle the jaws carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help protect the working edges and curved profile.
• Store the instrument in a clean, dry manner consistent with facility protocols and follow the applicable IFU for reprocessing.
