F.S.K (Cloward Harper) Punch up 3mm 18cm 40

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled coring and tissue removal in anterior cervical spine procedures, this punch is used during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and related approaches to remove nucleus pulposus, resect osteophytes, and prepare graft sites. The small 3 mm cutting diameter enables focused, atraumatic removal of disc material and bone within a narrow operative corridor, helping preserve adjacent structures while creating a precise working channel.

Design & Configuration

The up-cut configuration directs the cutting action toward the surgeon when the instrument is withdrawn, improving control when working on superior disc margins or in confined anterior cervical space. A 18 cm shaft provides the reach necessary for standard anterior approaches while maintaining tactile feedback. The 3 mm circular punch tip concentrates cutting force for predictable coring and minimizes collateral tissue disruption.
