Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 178mm, regular footplate angled down 90º 4.0mm bite medium handle

Controlled Access for Downward-Facing Rongeur Work

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a surgical rongeur designed for controlled removal of small portions of bone or other firm tissue during operative exposure. Its 178 mm working length provides extended reach, while the angled 90° down footplate and 4 mm bite support access where a downward-facing approach is preferred. The Spurling handle configuration offers a familiar format for professional instrument handling. Suitable for workflows in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, it supports tasks requiring a medium handle and a defined bite size. Its angled profile may also assist approach alignment in confined operative fields.

Use Cases

• Use for rongeur tasks requiring a 4 mm bite and a 90° downward-facing footplate.
• Support bone-removal and exposure workflows in General Surgery where extended working length is useful.
• Use in Neurosurgery workflows requiring an angled Kerrison rongeur for controlled access.
• Apply the 178 mm working length when the operative field calls for additional reach.
• Select for professional handling tasks suited to a Spurling handle and medium-handle configuration.
