Engineered for microsurgical spinal, neurosurgical, and orthopedic bone resection. Designed for controlled, fine‑bite cutting, this instrument features a straight, forward‑biting Kerrison mechanism that enables accurate removal of small bone fragments while minimizing trauma to adjacent neural and soft‑tissue structures. This rongeur incorporates DePuy’s non‑reflective black surgical coating, which reduces glare under operating microscopes and high‑intensity OR lighting, improving visual clarity in minimally invasive and micro‑technique procedures. Its ergonomic pistol‑grip handle provides balanced force transmission and smooth actuation, supporting surgeon control and reducing hand fatigue during prolonged decompressions.
