Micro Kerrison Rongeur

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. P

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.

thin footplates, small handles, black/gold titanium nitride coatBi-Color Ceramic Cut Micro Kerrison Ejector Rongeur is identical to our popular Micro Kerrison model but with a small pin ejector that sits within the shaft that's designed to eject any material from within the column when the handle is released. This allows the shaft to remain clear and assists during decontamination and sterilization, ultimately preserving the life of the instrument. 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. It is specifically designed for use in laminectomies in which a portion of the vertebral arch is removed posteriorly.

thin footplates, black ceramic coat, small handles, 9.0 mm opening Ceramic Cut Micro Kerrison Rongeur is an instrument specifically crafted for use in spinal surgeries that require laminectomies. Ceramic Cut rongeurs feature 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 ronguer features thin footplates and small handles that allow it to be used in delicate areas such as near the spinal cord. In laminectomies the vertebral arch is removed to give additional access to the spinal cord or to relieve pressure on particular segments. It is available in 7", 8" and 9" and in a variety of a variety of bite widths making it highly useful in a vast array of surgical scenarios. It is also available with a regular footplate upon special request.
