Bayonet Kerrison Rongeurs
Description
Bayonet Kerrison Rongeurs
The bayonet shaft exists for one reason: to move your hand out of the way. Working down a narrow corridor under the microscope or loupes, a straight handle sits exactly where you need to look. The bayonet offset carries it aside and leaves the field clear.
Everything else is a proper Kerrison. The jaw takes a clean, full bite rather than crushing, and the footplate slides beneath bone and ligament without lifting into the dura. Choose a standard footplate for general work, a thin footplate where the interlaminar space is tight, or the slight-curve thin footplate when you need to follow the lamina around a corner.
Bites run from 1mm through 5mm, with or without an ejector. The ejector clears the bite so debris does not travel back into the jaw, which saves a pass and keeps the field clean.
Every one carries our black non-glare coating, which absorbs operating-room and microscope light rather than bouncing it back at you. That coating is why surgeons have called us the Home of the Original Black Kerrison since 1992, and these are made to be reprocessed and resharpened for years rather than replaced.
