Love-Kerrison rongeur working length 203mm, thin footplate angled up 90º 5.0mm bite large handle

Controlled Access for Precise Bone Removal

The Love-Kerrison rongeur is a surgical biting instrument used to remove small portions of bone and other firm tissue during procedures requiring controlled access. Its 203mm working length provides extended reach, while the 90° upward angle and angled profile support approach from a suitable working direction. The extra-thin footplate is designed for access where a slim profile is useful, and the 5mm bite offers a defined removal size. A large handle supports practical manipulation during repetitive instrument handling. Suitable for workflows in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this rongeur combines reach, orientation, and a thin footplate in one familiar instrument design.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting and removal of small amounts of bone or firm tissue during General Surgery procedures.
• Support Neurosurgery workflows requiring an angled rongeur with a thin footplate and extended working length.
• Use the 90° upward orientation to approach the operative area from an upward-directed angle.
• Apply the 5mm bite where a defined, larger biting surface is appropriate for the task.
• Use the 203mm working length when added reach is helpful during instrument positioning.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the rongeur according to the facility's validated procedures and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the 5mm bite, extra-thin footplate, angled profile, and working mechanism for damage or deformation before and after use.
• Handle the instrument carefully to protect the thin footplate and biting edges from impact or unintended contact with other instruments.
• Store in a manner that prevents the working end from contacting or being damaged by other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
