Exploring the Ferris Smith Kerrison Clamp in Neurosurgery
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Clamp is a crucial tool in neurosurgical practice, designed to delicately extract small bone fragments, primarily located within the vertebral lamina, to relieve compression on the spinal cord.
With bite angles ranging from 90° to 130° for different techniques, and a pincer-type handle ensuring optimal control, this instrument offers a multitude of surgical advantages. Its primary objective is to remove bone from the lamina in atraumatic manner to effectively decompress the spinal cord and nerves.
To this end, the instrument's tip is equipped with teeth, offering a size range of 1.0 to 6.0 mm, allowing adaptation to various vertebral sizes. Additionally, the tip is available in multiple angles, allowing surgeons to choose according to their specific needs.
Furthermore, the handle features a spring mechanism to smoothly close the tip. Additionally, the back of the handle is provided with a horn to offer stable support to the hand and prevent slippage.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel to ensure cutting-edge instruments in your operating rooms.
The Ferris Smith Kerrison Clamp is thus an indispensable tool for neurosurgeons, offering precision and optimal control during spinal decompression procedures. Its ergonomic design and advanced features make it a preferred choice for delicate surgical procedures, ensuring effective and safe outcomes for patients.
