Love-Kerrison rongeur working length 305mm, thin footplate angled up 40º 4.0mm bite large handle

Extended-reach rongeur for controlled bone removal

The Love-Kerrison rongeur is a surgical rongeur designed to remove small amounts of bone through a controlled biting action. Its 305mm working length supports access in deeper operative fields, while the 40° upward angle helps position the bite at the intended site. The extra-thin footplate is suited to workflows where a slim profile and clear approach are important, including General Surgery and Neurosurgery applications. A 4mm bite provides a defined working area for progressive removal, and the large-handle configuration supports practical instrument handling during repetitive use.

Use Cases

• Remove small portions of bone during General Surgery procedures requiring a long-reach rongeur.
• Support Neurosurgery workflows where extended reach and an upward-directed bite help approach the operative site.
• Use the extra-thin footplate when a slim instrument profile is preferred for access and visualization.
• Perform controlled, progressive bites with the defined 4mm biting area.
• Position the angled jaws for work in deeper or less directly aligned surgical fields.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the rongeur promptly after use according to facility procedures and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the footplate, biting edges, angled working end, and handle before and after use for visible damage or impaired movement.
• Handle the thin footplate carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to avoid impact or distortion.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the working end from contact with other instruments.
