Ferris-Smith-Kerrison Rongeur

thin footplates, large handles, 15.0 mm opening, black/gold titanium nitride coatBi-Color Ceramic Cut Spurling-Kerrison Rongeur is a uniquely designed instrument that can be used in a variety of orthopedic surgeries. Also known as Love-Style Kerrisons, they feature traditional large handles and a 15.0 mm bite opening, unlike the smaller Micro Kerrison styles. This model also features a black ceramic surface treatment which provides unparalleled hardness and durability. The black and gold titanium nitride surface treatment 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. Additionally it is available in 6", 7", 8", 9", 10" and 11" and at either 40 degrees or 90 degrees up or down making it well suited for a vast array of surgeries that require manipulation of very small and delicate tendons and cartilage.

Micro Kerrison Detachable Rongeur is a specialized instrument ideally suited for use in laminectomy procedures. It features small handles and regular 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.

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.

These coated rongeurs do not need sharpening as often as traditional rongeurs, thus reducing operating costs and enhancing service life. 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.
