Love-Kerrison rongeur working length 305mm, thin footplate angled up 40º 5.0mm bite large handle

Controlled Access for Precise Bone Rongeur Work

The Love-Kerrison rongeur is a surgical bone-biting instrument designed for controlled removal of small amounts of bone in accessible operative fields. Its 305mm working length supports reach where a longer instrument is useful, while the 40° upward angle helps orient the bite toward the target. The extra-thin footplate is suited to work requiring a slim profile, and the 5mm bite provides a defined working aperture. In General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this angled rongeur can support careful, task-focused handling during procedures where instrument reach, positioning, and visibility are important.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled bone rongeur work in General Surgery when an angled, long-reach instrument is appropriate.
• Support Neurosurgery workflows requiring access with a 305mm working length and upward-directed bite.
• Position the 40° upward angle toward the intended working area while maintaining a practical instrument orientation.
• Use the extra-thin footplate where a slim instrument profile is relevant to the task.
• Apply the 5mm bite for defined removal of bone material in accordance with the operative technique and facility protocol.

Care & Handling

• Clean the rongeur promptly after use in accordance with facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the bite, footplate, angled shaft, and handle before and after processing for visible damage, deformation, or impaired movement.
• Handle the thin footplate carefully during cleaning, inspection, transport, and storage to help prevent accidental bending or impact.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the working end and avoids contact damage with other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
