Exploration of the Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch in Neurosurgery: A Vital Approach
The discovery of the Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch unveils a crucial specialized tool used by neurosurgeons to capture and meticulously remove small bone fragments, particularly those from the vertebral lamina, to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord.
Equipped with adjustable tip angles between 90° and 130° for various gripping techniques, as well as a clamp-type handle offering optimal control, this equipment presents multiple surgical advantages. Its primary aim is to provide an atraumatic method to hollow out the lamina bone to decompress the spinal cord and nerves.
To this end, the instrument is equipped with a biting tip, ranging in size from 1.0 to 6.0 mm, allowing adaptation to different vertebral sizes. Additionally, the tip is available in multiple angles, which surgeons can adjust based on the targeted area.
Furthermore, the handle incorporates a spring mechanism to smoothly close the tip. Additionally, the back of the handle is also equipped with a horn to provide stable support and prevent slippage.
Crafted from high-quality stainless steel to ensure top-grade instruments in your operating rooms.
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch represents an indispensable tool for neurosurgeons, offering optimal precision and control during spinal cord decompression procedures. Its ergonomic design and advanced features make it a preferred choice for delicate surgical interventions, ensuring effective and secure outcomes for patients.
