Medium Kerrison Rongeur

thin footplates, black/gold titanium nitride coat, small handles, 9.0 mm openingBi-Color Ceramic Cut Micro Kerrison Rongeur is an instrument specifically crafted for use in spinal surgeries that require laminectomies. 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 ronguer features thin footplates and small handles that allow it to be used in delicate areas such as near the spinal cord.

8" (20.3 cm)Ferris-Smith Kerrison Rongeur is a unique instrument designed for use in spinal surgeries. It is specifically crafted for use in removal of the posterior arch of the vertebrae by cutting through the laminae. It could also be used for hemi-laminectomy procedures. A variety of spinal procedures can benefit from such instrumentation because it allows for increased access and visualization of a particular segment of the spinal cord or can simply be used to alleviate pressure on the cord. Additionally these ronguers are available at 90 degrees up or down or 40 degrees up or down with a 5.0 mm and 3.0 mm bite respectively.

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.

undefined 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. 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. 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.
