Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 178mm, regular footplate angled up 40º 1.0mm bite medium handle

Controlled Access for Precise Rongeur Work

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a surgical instrument designed for controlled biting and removal of bone during operative exposure. Its 178mm working length supports access across the operative field, while the regular footplate is angled upward 40° to help orient the 1.0mm bite toward the intended site. The medium handle provides a familiar format for instrument handling during repeated rongeur movements. Suitable for task-focused use in both General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this angled Kerrison configuration supports measured work where reach, bite direction, and a compact bite size are important considerations.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting and removal of bone during surgical exposure in General Surgery.
• Support neurosurgical rongeur work where an angled, upward-facing bite is appropriate.
• Use the 1.0mm bite for measured removal during detail-oriented bone work.
• Apply the 178mm working length when access and reach across the operative field are required.
• Use the angled footplate configuration to help position the bite in relation to the target site.
