Kerrison-Costen rongeur 5 1/2" curved working length 102mm angled 90º down 3.0mm x 3.0mm bite

Controlled Access for Focused Rongeur Work

The Kerrison-Costen rongeur is a curved surgical rongeur for controlled biting in confined operative fields. Its 5 1/2-inch profile, 102mm working length, and 90° down-angled 3mm bite help place the jaws where access and instrument orientation matter. The curved form supports a practical line of approach, while the compact bite is suited to deliberate, localized removal rather than broad bites. For ENT and General Surgery teams, it provides a familiar hand instrument for tasks requiring measured access, consistent alignment, and careful progression through the operative workflow.

Use Cases

• Use for focused biting and removal tasks where a curved rongeur profile supports access to confined operative areas.
• Apply the 90° down angle when the working approach requires the jaws to face downward relative to the shaft.
• Use the 3mm bite for deliberate, localized rongeur work rather than broad bites.
• Support ENT procedures that require controlled access and instrument orientation in compact operative fields.
• Support General Surgery workflows involving measured rongeur handling and progressive removal tasks.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the curved jaws, bite surfaces, and 90° angled working end for visible residue, damage, or irregular movement before reuse.
• Handle the working end carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help protect the bite geometry.
• Store in a manner that prevents the jaws and angled tip from contacting or striking other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
