Love-Kerrison rongeur working length 203mm, thin footplate angled up 40º 3.0mm bite large handle

Controlled Access for Precise Rongeur Handling

The Love-Kerrison rongeur is a surgical instrument designed for controlled removal of bone or other hard tissue where a focused bite and extended reach are useful. Its 203mm working length supports access within deeper operative fields, while the 40° upward angle and extra-thin footplate help position the bite in confined working areas. The 3mm bite offers a defined removal size, and the large handle supports deliberate instrument handling. Suitable for applications across General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this angled rongeur combines practical reach with a thin-footplate profile for task-focused use.

Use Cases

• Use in General Surgery procedures requiring a 3mm rongeur bite and extended 203mm working length.
• Apply in Neurosurgery where an upward-angled, thin-footplate profile supports access to confined operative areas.
• Use the 40° up angle to position the bite when a straight approach is less suitable.
• Handle through the large handle for controlled manipulation during bone or hard-tissue removal tasks.
• Use the extra-thin footplate where a slim instrument profile is relevant to the operative workflow.
