Ferris Smith Kerrison Rongeur: An Essential Instrument in Neurosurgery
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Rongeur is a key tool in neurosurgery, specifically designed for the precise removal of bone fragments, particularly from the vertebral laminae, to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
Its main advantage lies in the design of its biting jaws, available at 90° and 130° angles, allowing surgeons to adopt different approaches for optimal precision in bone fragment removal. With its atraumatic mechanism, it enables effective decompression of the spinal cord and nerves while minimizing the risk of tissue damage.
The instrument features sharp, biting jaws ranging in size from 1.0 mm to 6.0 mm, adapting to various vertebral anatomies. The availability of different angles provides increased flexibility, allowing surgeons to tailor their technique based on the specific needs of each procedure.
Designed for maximum control, the ergonomic handle incorporates a spring mechanism that ensures smooth and gradual closure. The back of the handle includes a stabilizing horn, enhancing grip and reducing the risk of slipping during surgery.
Made from high-quality stainless steel, the Ferris Smith Kerrison Rongeur offers both durability and strength, meeting the rigorous demands of surgical environments.
With its advanced ergonomics and precision performance, this instrument is a preferred choice for neurosurgeons performing spinal decompression procedures. Combining reliability, safety, and efficiency, it ensures optimal outcomes for patients.
