Discovering the Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch in Neurosurgery
The Ferris Smith Kerrison punch is a specialized instrument used by neurosurgeons to bite and remove small bone fragments, particularly from the vertebral lamina, aiming to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord.
Featuring 90° and 130° tip angles for various biting approaches, along with a plier-type handle ensuring maximum control, this punch offers a range of surgical advantages. Its primary purpose is to provide a non-traumatic method for hollowing out the lamina bone to decompress the spinal cord and nerves.
For this purpose, the instrument is equipped with a biting tip, ranging in size from 1.0 to 6.0 mm, adapting to various vertebral sizes. Additionally, the tip is available in multiple angles that surgeons can select based on their surgical target.
Moreover, the handle includes a spring mechanism to smoothly close the tip. Furthermore, the back of the handle features a horn to support the hand and prevent slippage.
Crafted from high-quality stainless steel to ensure top-notch instruments in your operating room.
The Ferris Smith Kerrison punch represents an indispensable tool for neurosurgeons, providing 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 safe outcomes for patients.
