Ferris-Smith-Kerrison Rongeur

undefined Bi-Color Ceramic Cut Micro Kerrison Detachable Rongeurs feature a swing style shaft which opens up to allow easy cleaning of the shaft interior. Once the thumb release lever above the handle is depressed, the top portion of the cutting shaft unlocks and is able to be swung open, though it remains hinged. This prevents the risk of loss through separate parts. Bi-Color rongeurs feature a combination black and gold titanium nitride surface treatment, which hardens and protects the instrument body and cutting surface for a durable, smooth gliding action. These coated rongeurs do not need sharpening as often as traditional rongeurs, thus reducing operating costs and enhancing service life. The rongeur is a specialized instrument ideally suited for use in laminectomy procedures. It features small handles and thin footplate and is 40 degrees up which allows it to comfortably maneuver in the narrow spaces in and around the vertebral column. Laminectomies are performed for a number of reasons. Some include increased access to a particular region of the spinal cord by removing the vertebral arch of a series of vertebrae or to reduce pressure on a particular portion of the vertebral column. This instrument is available in 7", 8" or 9" as well as in a variety of bite widths and with or without an ejector making it highly versatile and well suited for a number of surgical scenarios.

Ceramic Cut Medium Kerrison Rongeurs are an ideal choice for surgeons preferring to combine the benefits of the small handles on Micro Kerrison models with the larger bite opening of the Spurling-Kerrison models. This model also features a black ceramic surface treatment which provides unparalleled hardness and durability. The black ceramic coating is designed to reduce the friction between metal surfaces, providing surgeons with a smooth, steady gliding action and a longer-lasting rongeur. The dark finish also reduces glare under operating room lights.

regular footplates, large handles, strong 70 degrees up-curved shaft, 40 degree up bite, 8" (20.0 cm) Micro Kerrison Foraminotomy Rongeurs are specialized instruments designed for use in laminectomies. The 70 degree up-curved shaft is ideal for better visualization and access needed in foraminotomy procedures. This rongeur features thin footplates and large handles, making it ideal for use in the narrow space surrounding the vertebral column. It is available in 2.0 – 5.0 mm bite in 1.0 mm increments to accommodate any surgical scenario.
