12″ Ferris-Smith IVD Rongeur – 5x10mm With Teeth, Upbiting

12″ Ferris-Smith IVD Rongeur – 5 x 10mm With Teeth, Upbiting is a professional-grade surgical instrument engineered for precise intervertebral disc removal and controlled tissue resection during spinal and neurosurgical procedures. Commonly utilized in discectomy, microdiscectomy, spinal decompression, and other spine interventions, this instrument combines the trusted Ferris-Smith design with a large-capacity 5 x 10mm toothed jaw profile and an upbiting configuration to deliver dependable tissue engagement and efficient excision.

The instrument features a 5 x 10mm bite size, providing a broad working surface for effective removal of disc material, fibrocartilage, ligamentous tissue, and other compressive structures. The larger jaw capacity allows surgeons to remove greater volumes of tissue while maintaining precise control and tactile feedback.

Its toothed jaw design ensures secure tissue capture during grasping and extraction. Integrated teeth help prevent tissue slippage, allowing surgeons to confidently engage and remove disc fragments and dense tissue from the operative site.

A defining feature of this instrument is its upbiting jaw configuration. The upward-oriented cutting action enables surgeons to approach and remove tissue located above the instrument shaft, making it especially useful during spinal decompression and intervertebral disc procedures where superior access is required.

With an overall length of 12 inches (305mm), the Ferris-Smith IVD Rongeur provides extended reach into deep operative fields while maintaining excellent maneuverability and tactile feedback. The elongated profile is particularly valuable during lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine procedures that require access to deeper anatomical structures.

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

The ergonomic handle design promotes secure grip stability, enhanced control, and comfortable operation during prolonged spinal procedures. Its balanced construction supports precise instrument manipulation while helping reduce surgeon fatigue.

The 12″ Ferris-Smith IVD Rongeur – 5 x 10mm With Teeth, Upbiting is commonly used during lumbar discectomy, cervical discectomy, thoracic spine surgery, microdiscectomy, laminectomy, laminotomy, spinal decompression, and neurosurgical procedures requiring controlled disc and tissue removal.

Its combination of a large-capacity toothed jaw profile, upbiting configuration, and extended length makes it an ideal instrument for efficient tissue extraction and precise decompression in deep spinal operative fields.

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 consistent clinical performance.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the 12″ Ferris-Smith IVD Rongeur – 5 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, efficient disc removal, and professional-grade reliability for advanced spinal procedures.
