Ferris-Smith Kerrison Rongeur 7 4mm 40 degree up

Controlled Access for Precise Rongeur Work

The Ferris-Smith Kerrison Rongeur is a 7-inch surgical instrument designed for controlled removal of small amounts of bone or tissue during operative work. Its 4mm bite and 40° upward angle support access where a forward-facing instrument may be less convenient, while the overall length provides useful reach within the operative field. This configuration can serve instrument workflows in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, helping clinicians approach targeted areas with a familiar Kerrison rongeur format. The angled profile may also support visualization and hand positioning when working around adjacent structures, without changing the instrument’s straightforward rongeur function.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled biting and removal of small amounts of bone or tissue in General Surgery workflows.
• Support Neurosurgery procedures requiring an upward-angled Kerrison rongeur approach.
• Use the 40° up configuration to approach areas where an angled bite may improve access and hand positioning.
• Apply the 4mm bite size when a defined, repeatable rongeur bite is appropriate for the task.
• Use the 7-inch overall length when additional reach within the operative field is useful.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the instrument according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for use.
• Inspect the bite, angled tip, and operating mechanism before and after use for visible damage, debris, or impaired movement.
• Handle the 40° up tip carefully during transport, cleaning, and storage to help prevent contact damage.
• Store the rongeur in a manner that protects its angled working end and keeps it accessible for inspection.
