Love-Kerrison rongeur working length 203mm, thin footplate angled up 40º 5.0mm bite large handle

Controlled Access and Efficient Bone Removal

The Love-Kerrison rongeur is a hand-held surgical instrument designed for controlled removal of small amounts of bone or other hard tissue during access and exposure work. Its 203mm working length provides extended reach, while the extra-thin footplate is angled upward 40° to support access in confined or oblique working areas. The 5mm bite offers a defined removal width, and the large handle is intended to support secure instrument handling during repeated use. Suitable for workflows in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this angled rongeur combines reach, directional access, and a slim footplate profile in one practical design.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting and removal of bone during general surgical exposure and access tasks.
• Support neurosurgical workflows requiring an angled rongeur for access in confined operative areas.
• Use the 40° upward angle to approach targeted areas from an oblique direction.
• Apply the 5mm bite when a defined, relatively broad rongeur bite is appropriate for the task.
• Use the 203mm working length where extended reach is helpful during deep-field handling.

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument promptly after use according to facility procedures and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the footplate, bite, hinge, and handle before and after use for visible damage, deformation, or restricted movement.
• Handle the thin footplate carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help prevent bending or impact damage.
• Store the rongeur in a way that protects the angled working end from contact with other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
