Improved Rotating Kerrison Rongeur

undefined Ceramic Cut Rotating Kerrison Rongeurs feature a fully-rotatable instrument shaft, removable with the click of a single thumb release lever. The rotating shaft allows for a range of cutting angles, and the removable shaft is ideal for thorough decontamination and sterilization of the instrument. These instruments feature a unique combination: the small handles typical of Micro Kerrison styles, with the larger bite opening typical of Spurling-Kerrison styles. This is a perfect compromise for surgeons who prefer the small handles but do not want to lose the advantages of a larger bite opening. A bayonet-shaft version of the rotating rongeur is also available. The ceramic cut style offers additional benefits in the form of a black ceramic surface treatment which provides unparalleled hardness and durability. The coating is designed to reduce the friction between metal surfaces, providing surgeons with a smooth, steady gliding action and a longer-lasting rongeur.

undefined Bayonet Micro Kerrison Rongeurs retain all the features of traditional Micro Kerrison models with the added benefit of a bayonet-style shaft which allows for better visualization and access by the surgeon. This style is offered both with and without an ejector pin, depending on surgical preference.

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.
