Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 305mm, regular footplate angled up 40º 4.0mm bite medium handle

Long-Reach Kerrison Rongeur for Controlled Access

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a surgical biting instrument designed for removing small amounts of hard tissue during focused operative work. Its 305mm working length provides extended reach for procedures where access is deeper or a longer instrument is preferred. The regular footplate is angled 40° upward, while the 4mm bite supports deliberate, task-focused removal through a familiar Kerrison-style action. The medium handle is suited to controlled instrument handling across General Surgery and Neurosurgery workflows. Its angled profile can also help position the biting end in relation to the operative field while maintaining a practical working approach.

Use Cases

• Use for focused biting and removal of hard tissue in General Surgery procedures where a 305mm working length is appropriate.
• Support Neurosurgery workflows requiring an angled-up Kerrison profile and extended reach.
• Use the 40° upward angle to approach the operative area with the footplate oriented for the intended task.
• Apply the 4mm bite for controlled, incremental tissue removal consistent with the use of a Kerrison rongeur.
• Handle through the medium Spurling configuration during tasks requiring deliberate instrument positioning.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the rongeur in accordance with facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for use.
• Inspect the 4mm biting end, regular footplate, angled profile, and handle before use for visible damage or impaired function.
• Handle the working end carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help protect the biting surfaces and alignment.
• Store the instrument securely so the 305mm shaft and angled footplate are protected from impact or contact with other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
