Product Description

Ferris-Smith-Kerrison Rongeur 18cm, 90° Up, 1–5mm Bite

The Ferris-Smith-Kerrison Rongeur is a precision bone-cutting instrument designed for controlled removal of small portions of bone during spinal, orthopedic, and neurosurgical procedures. The 90° upward-cutting jaw supports access in confined surgical areas, while the 18cm / 7" length provides practical reach and controlled handling.

Available in 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm bite sizes, this Kerrison rongeur allows the clinician to select the jaw width appropriate for the procedure and surgical site. The instrument is manufactured from German stainless steel and features a spring-assisted handle design for controlled operation.

Choosing the Bite Size

The bite size indicates the width of the cutting jaw. Smaller 1mm and 2mm options are suited to procedures requiring a narrower working profile, while 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm variants provide progressively broader bite widths. Select the appropriate size according to the procedure, anatomy, and clinician preference.

90° Upward-Cutting Design

The 90° up-biting configuration positions the cutting action upward relative to the shaft, helping provide controlled access in surgical areas where a straight or differently angled rongeur may not provide the preferred approach.

18cm Working Length

The 18cm / approximately 7-inch length provides reach while maintaining controlled handling. The combination of a narrow shaft and angled working end is designed for access in confined spinal and neurosurgical fields.

German Stainless Steel Construction

The instrument is manufactured from German stainless steel for durable professional surgical instrument construction. The supplied product image also shows the German Stainless marking on the instrument handle.

Instrument Care

Clean, inspect, and reprocess the instrument according to the applicable manufacturer's instructions and your healthcare facility's validated procedures. Inspect the cutting jaw, footplate, shaft, pivot, spring, and handle before use. Remove the instrument from service if damage, misalignment, or deterioration is identified.
