Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 178mm, regular footplate angled down 90º 1.0mm bite medium handle

Controlled Access and Precise Bone Removal

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a surgical instrument designed for controlled removal of small amounts of bone or similar tissue during procedures requiring focused access. Its 178mm working length supports reach into deeper operative fields, while the regular footplate is angled down 90° to help position the 1.0mm bite at the target site. The medium Spurling handle provides a familiar format for controlled manual handling. Suitable for general surgery and neurosurgery applications, this angled rongeur supports deliberate tissue and bone management where access, visualization, and measured bites are important to the operative workflow.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting and removal of small amounts of bone or similar tissue in general surgical procedures.
• Support neurosurgical workflows requiring a focused 1.0mm bite and access to deeper operative areas.
• Use the 90° down-angled footplate to approach targets from a defined downward direction.
• Apply the 178mm working length where additional reach is useful within the operative field.
• Use the medium Spurling handle for steady manual positioning and controlled instrument manipulation.
