Ferris-Smith-Kerrison Punch up 6mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

This up-biting Kerrison punch is engineered for controlled bone and ligament removal in spinal and neurosurgical procedures. The 6 mm bite provides a measured, incremental excision ideal for laminectomy, foraminotomy, microdiscectomy and targeted decompression around the dura and nerve roots. The up-biting orientation facilitates upward-directed cutting in posterior approaches where access beneath the lamina or into the neural foramen is required.

Design & Configuration

An up-biting tip directs the cutting action superiorly relative to the instrument shaft, allowing the surgeon to remove bone or ligament while working beneath or posterior to neural structures with improved line-of-sight and hand positioning. The 18 cm length offers extended reach into deep or narrow operative corridors common in spine procedures, while the 6 mm maximum bite size supports controlled, incremental resections that reduce risk of inadvertent dural or neural injury.
