Exploring the Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch in Neurosurgery
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch is a specialized tool used by neurosurgeons to grasp and remove small bone fragments, particularly from the vertebral lamina, to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
With bite angles of 90° and 130° for various approaches, along with a pincer-type handle ensuring maximum control, this punch offers a wide range of surgical advantages. Its primary purpose is to provide atraumatic bone removal from the lamina to effectively decompress the spinal cord and nerves.
To achieve this, the instrument is equipped with a biting tip, ranging in size from 1.0 to 6.0 mm, allowing adaptation to different 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 slipping.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel to ensure top-grade instruments in your operating rooms.
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Punch is an indispensable tool for neurosurgeons, offering precise control during spinal decompression procedures. Its ergonomic design and advanced features make it a preferred choice for delicate surgical interventions, ensuring effective and safe outcomes for patients.
