Ferris-Smith kerrison rongeur working length 180mm angled up 40º 2.0mm bite, ergonomic ring handle

Angled Kerrison Rongeur for Controlled Access and Efficient Handling

The Ferris-Smith Kerrison rongeur is a surgical biting instrument designed for removing small amounts of bone or other firm tissue during appropriate procedures. Its 180mm working length and 40° upward angle support access in areas where a straight approach may be less convenient, while the 2.0mm bite provides a defined working profile. The ergonomic ring handle supports familiar instrument handling and controlled actuation during General Surgery and Neurosurgery workflows. Its angled configuration can also help maintain a practical line of approach while the operator works within a limited field. Use should follow the procedure, facility protocol, and applicable instrument instructions.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting and removal of small amounts of bone or firm tissue in appropriate General Surgery procedures.
• Use in Neurosurgery workflows where an upward-angled approach and 180mm working length suit the operative access requirements.
• Apply the 40° upward angle when a straight instrument trajectory is less suitable for the intended working area.
• Use the 2.0mm bite for tasks requiring a defined, narrow biting profile.
• Handle through the ergonomic ring design when repeated opening and closing is required during an appropriate procedure.
