10″ Ferris-Smith IVD Rongeur – 4x10mm With Teeth, Upbiting

10″ Ferris-Smith IVD Rongeur – 4 x 10mm With Teeth, Upbiting is a professional-grade surgical instrument engineered for precise intervertebral disc extraction and controlled tissue resection during spinal, neurosurgical, and orthopedic procedures. Commonly utilized in discectomy, microdiscectomy, spinal decompression, and related interventions, this instrument combines the trusted Ferris-Smith design with a 4 x 10mm toothed jaw profile and upbiting configuration to deliver reliable tissue engagement and efficient surgical performance.

The instrument features a 4 x 10mm bite size, providing an excellent balance between tissue capture capacity and precise surgical control. The jaw profile enables surgeons to efficiently grasp and remove disc material, fibrocartilage, ligamentous tissue, and other compressive structures while maintaining superior tactile feedback and accuracy.

Its toothed jaw design enhances tissue retention during extraction. Integrated teeth provide a secure grip on disc fragments and dense tissue, helping prevent slippage and improving retrieval efficiency. This secure engagement contributes to smoother tissue removal and reduced instrument repositioning during surgery.

A defining feature of this model is its upbiting jaw configuration. The upward-oriented jaws allow surgeons to access and remove tissue located above the instrument shaft, making the instrument particularly effective for spinal decompression procedures requiring superior anatomical access. This design improves visualization and facilitates controlled tissue excision in confined operative fields.

With an overall length of 10 inches (254mm), the Ferris-Smith IVD Rongeur offers an ideal balance of reach and maneuverability. The instrument provides access to deeper spinal structures while maintaining responsive handling and precise control throughout the procedure.

Precision-engineered jaws deliver smooth tissue engagement and controlled extraction performance. Surgeons can confidently remove herniated disc material, ligamentous tissue, and pathological structures while minimizing trauma to surrounding anatomy.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument offers exceptional corrosion resistance, structural integrity, and long-term durability. High-quality construction ensures dependable performance through repeated sterilization cycles and routine clinical use.

The ergonomic Ferris-Smith handle design promotes secure grip stability, enhanced instrument control, and comfortable operation during prolonged spinal procedures. Its balanced construction helps reduce hand fatigue while supporting precise surgical manipulation.

The 10″ Ferris-Smith IVD Rongeur – 4 x 10mm With Teeth, Upbiting is commonly used during lumbar discectomy, cervical discectomy, microdiscectomy, spinal decompression, laminectomy, laminotomy, thoracic spine procedures, and neurosurgical interventions requiring controlled disc and tissue removal.

Its combination of a medium-capacity toothed jaw profile, upbiting configuration, and versatile working length makes it an ideal instrument for efficient tissue extraction and decompression in spinal surgery.

The satin stainless steel finish minimizes glare under surgical lighting and supports efficient cleaning and maintenance. Precision manufacturing ensures smooth jaw operation, accurate alignment, and dependable clinical performance.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the 10″ Ferris-Smith IVD Rongeur – 4 x 10mm With Teeth, Upbiting is suitable for hospitals, spine centers, neurosurgical facilities, orthopedic departments, ambulatory surgery centers, and teaching institutions worldwide.

Trusted by spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, and orthopedic specialists, this instrument delivers secure tissue capture, precise disc removal, and professional-grade reliability for advanced spinal procedures.
