Micro Kerrison Rongeur, Panther, Ejector, 5mm, 40° Up, 7″, Extra Delicate Footplate

Micro Kerrison Rongeur, Panther, Ejector, 5mm, 40° Up, 7″, Extra Delicate Footplate is a professional-grade surgical instrument engineered for advanced decompression and bone resection procedures where precision, efficiency, and tissue preservation are essential. Designed for spinal surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic applications, this instrument combines a refined Micro jaw configuration with a specialized 40° upward angle, integrated ejector system, extra delicate footplate, and premium Panther coating to provide exceptional performance in challenging operative environments.

The instrument features a 5mm bite size, allowing surgeons to efficiently remove larger amounts of bone and ligamentous tissue while maintaining excellent control and surgical accuracy. This jaw profile provides an ideal balance between resection efficiency and precision, making it suitable for a wide variety of decompression procedures.

A key feature of this instrument is its extra delicate footplate design. The thinner and more refined footplate facilitates easier insertion beneath bone structures and within narrow anatomical spaces, allowing surgeons to access compressive pathology with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. This design is particularly beneficial when operating near sensitive neural structures where precision is critical.

Its 40° upward-angled jaw configuration enhances access to difficult-to-reach anatomical regions and improves visualization during surgery. The angled design enables surgeons to approach target tissues from optimal trajectories while maintaining ergonomic hand positioning and precise instrument control.

The integrated ejector mechanism automatically expels excised bone and tissue fragments from the jaws following each cutting cycle. This advanced debris-management system minimizes clogging, maintains uninterrupted cutting efficiency, and reduces the need for manual cleaning during procedures, helping improve surgical workflow and operating room productivity.

With a compact 7-inch (175mm) working length, the Kerrison Rongeur offers exceptional maneuverability and handling. The shorter shaft design is especially advantageous during microsurgical procedures and operations performed in restricted operative fields where precise instrument control is essential.

The advanced Panther coating significantly enhances surface hardness, wear resistance, and instrument longevity. Its non-reflective finish minimizes glare from surgical lights and operating microscopes, improving visualization of the operative field and supporting greater surgical precision.

The Micro Kerrison Rongeur, Panther, Ejector, 5mm, 40° Up, 7″, Extra Delicate Footplate is commonly used during laminectomy, laminotomy, foraminotomy, spinal decompression, spinal stenosis surgery, cervical decompression, lumbar decompression, thoracic spine procedures, and neurosurgical interventions. It is particularly effective for removing lamina, osteophytes, ligamentum flavum, hypertrophic bone, and other structures contributing to neural compression.

Its precision cutting mechanism provides excellent tactile sensitivity and controlled bone resection, enabling surgeons to work confidently around nerve roots, the spinal cord, dura mater, and other delicate anatomical structures while minimizing tissue trauma.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel and enhanced with a durable Panther coating, the instrument offers outstanding corrosion resistance, structural integrity, and long-term clinical reliability. Precision manufacturing ensures dependable cutting performance and smooth ejector operation through repeated sterilization cycles and routine surgical use.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the Micro Kerrison Rongeur, Panther, Ejector, 5mm, 40° Up, 7″, Extra Delicate Footplate is suitable for hospitals, spine centers, orthopedic departments, neurosurgical facilities, ambulatory surgical centers, and teaching institutions worldwide.

Trusted by spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, and orthopedic specialists, this instrument delivers efficient bone removal, enhanced access, automatic debris ejection, superior visibility, and professional-grade performance for advanced decompression procedures.
