Description
The Aesculap FK969B Kerrison Bone Punch is a precision spinal surgical instrument designed for controlled removal of bone and ligament during decompression procedures, particularly in confined or angled anatomical regions.
This instrument features a compact 8-inch (200 mm) length and a 130° upward-angled shaft, allowing excellent access to areas that are difficult to reach with straight Kerrison rongeurs. The 2.5 mm bite size provides a balance between fine control and increased bone removal efficiency, compared to smaller gauges.
The thin footplate design enables atraumatic insertion beneath bone or ligament, while the upper cutting jaw delivers a precise punch action. A key feature is the detachable construction, allowing the shaft and handle to be separated for enhanced cleaning, maintenance, and sterilization.
The pistol-grip handle with gold-colored tungsten carbide (TC) components ensures durability, smooth actuation, and ergonomic one-handed operation with excellent tactile feedback.
