Ferris-Smith kerrison rongeur working length 180mm angled up 40º 3.0mm bite, ergonomic ring handle

Controlled Access and Confident Handling for Precision Rongeur Work

The Ferris-Smith Kerrison rongeur is a surgical biting instrument intended for controlled removal of hard tissue during operative exposure and preparation. Its 180mm working length supports access to deeper operative areas, while the 40° upward angle and 3mm bite help position the jaws for targeted work within the surgical field. The ergonomic ring handle provides a familiar grip and supports deliberate actuation during repeated instrument handling. Suitable for workflows in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this angled rongeur combines extended reach with a defined bite size for practical control in access-sensitive procedures.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting and removal of hard tissue during surgical exposure.
• Support General Surgery workflows requiring an angled rongeur with extended reach.
• Support Neurosurgery workflows where a 40° upward jaw orientation assists instrument positioning.
• Use the 3mm bite for targeted removal when a defined jaw size is appropriate.
• Employ the ergonomic ring handle for stable, deliberate handling during operative instrument exchanges.
