Discover the Use of the Ferris Smith Kerrison Instrument in Neurosurgery
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Instrument is a specialized equipment used by neurosurgeons to delicately remove small bone fragments, primarily from the vertebral lamina, in order to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord.
With its adjustable tip angles at 90° and 130°, as well as a plier-type handle ensuring optimal control, this tool offers a multitude of surgical advantages. Its primary objective is to provide a non-traumatic method for bone reaming of the lamina, thereby effectively decompressing the spinal cord and nerves.
To achieve this, the instrument features a biting tip, with sizes ranging from 1.0 to 6.0 mm, providing adaptability to various vertebral sizes. Additionally, the tip is available in multiple angles, allowing surgeons to choose based on the targeted region.
The handle also incorporates a spring mechanism for smooth closure of the tip. Additionally, its back is equipped with a horn, providing stable support to prevent slipping.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, this instrument ensures optimal performance in your operating rooms.
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Instrument represents an essential tool for neurosurgeons, offering unmatched 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 results for patients.
