Description

Detachable Curved Kerrison Rongeurs

This is our curved Kerrison, made to come apart. The curve of the shaft still carries the footplate out and around the pedicle, so you can open a narrowed foramen or work beneath the lamina without taking more facet than you need. Once the case is done, the shaft separates from the handle so every surface can be inspected and cleaned, and it goes back together true.

Two curve profiles cover the work: the Standard Curve in 2mm and 3mm bites, a favorite for foraminotomy, and the Slight Curve in 1mm, 2mm and 3mm, which suits sublaminar decompression. All are 8″ with a thin footplate that slips into tight spaces near the nerve.

Like every Wiggins Kerrison, they are hand finished, carry our signature black non glare coating and are built to be reprocessed and sharpened for years of service. For fixed shaft curved Kerrisons in all six profiles, see our Curved Kerrison Rongeurs.
