Exploration of the Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch in Neurosurgery
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch is an indispensable specialized tool for neurosurgeons, designed to grip and remove tiny bone fragments, particularly at the level of the vertebral lamina, to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord.
Featuring point angles of 90° and 130° for various gripping techniques, along with a clamp-style handle providing maximum control, this tool offers numerous surgical advantages. Its primary function is to provide a gentle method for removing bone from the lamina, thereby facilitating effective decompression of the spinal cord and nerves.
To this end, the instrument's tip is equipped with teeth, ranging in size from 1.0 to 6.0 mm, offering adaptability to different vertebral sizes. Additionally, the tip is available in multiple angles, allowing surgeons to choose based on their surgical target.
Furthermore, the handle is equipped with a spring mechanism to smoothly close the tip, while the back of the handle features a horn to provide stable support for the hand and prevent slippage.
Crafted from superior-quality stainless steel, this punch ensures high-quality instruments for your operating rooms.
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch is thus an essential tool for neurosurgeons, offering precision and optimal 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.
