Exploration of the Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch in Neurosurgery
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch is a specialized tool widely used by neurosurgeons to bite and remove small bone fragments, specifically from the vertebral lamina, with the aim of relieving pressure on the spinal cord.
With its 90° and 130° tip angles allowing for different biting approaches, as well as its plier-type handle offering maximum control, this punch presents a diverse range of surgical advantages. Its primary goal is to provide a non-traumatic method to hollow out the lamina bone to decompress the spinal cord and nerves.
To achieve this, the instrument is equipped with a biting tip, available in sizes ranging from 1.0 to 6.0 mm, suitable for various vertebral sizes. Additionally, the tip is available in multiple angles that surgeons can select based on the surgical target.
Moreover, the handle features a spring mechanism to close the tip with a smooth movement. Furthermore, the back of the handle has a horn to support the hand and prevent slipping.
Made of high-quality stainless steel to ensure top-notch instruments in your operating room.
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch represents an essential 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 procedures, ensuring effective and safe outcomes for patients.
