Exploration of the Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch in Neurosurgery
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch is an essential specialized tool for neurosurgeons, designed to grasp and remove tiny bone fragments, particularly at the level of the vertebral lamina, to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord.
With biting angles of 90° and 130° for various gripping techniques, along with a clamp-type handle providing maximum control, this instrument offers numerous surgical advantages. Its primary function is to provide atraumatic bone removal from the lamina, thus facilitating effective decompression of the spinal cord and nerves.
To achieve this, the instrument's tip is equipped with teeth, ranging in size from 1.0 to 6.0 mm, providing adaptability to different vertebral sizes. Additionally, the tip is available in multiple angles, allowing surgeons to select according to their surgical goals.
Moreover, the handle features a spring mechanism for gently closing the tip, while the rear of the handle is fitted with a horn to provide stable hand support and prevent slippage.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, this punch ensures top-quality instruments for your operating rooms.
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch is therefore an indispensable 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, thus ensuring effective and safe outcomes for patients.
