The Neurosurgery Rotating Kerrison Rongeur 7″ 1mm 40° Up Panther Shaft is a precision-engineered detachable Kerrison shaft developed for delicate bone removal during advanced neurosurgical and spinal procedures. Designed exclusively for use with the 70-2390 Handle, this modular rotating shaft combines outstanding cutting performance, ergonomic handling, and exceptional durability. Its advanced Panther coating enhances wear resistance while reducing surface glare, making it an ideal choice for surgeons performing demanding microsurgical decompression procedures.

With an overall length of 7 inches (175mm), this rotating Kerrison shaft provides the ideal balance between reach and maneuverability. The medium-length design offers excellent access to deep operative fields while maintaining precise tactile feedback and superior instrument control. It is particularly well suited for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine surgery where controlled bone removal is essential around sensitive neurological structures.

The shaft incorporates a 15mm opening, providing smooth jaw movement and consistent cutting performance throughout each surgical procedure. The optimized opening allows efficient bone engagement while maintaining controlled mechanical action during repetitive use. This contributes to improved workflow, greater precision, and reduced hand fatigue during lengthy operations.

Equipped with a 1mm footplate, this Kerrison Rongeur shaft is specifically designed for ultra-fine bone excision. The narrow bite allows surgeons to remove extremely small portions of cortical and cancellous bone while preserving surrounding neural tissue, blood vessels, and soft tissue. This level of precision is essential during microsurgical decompression procedures where incremental bone removal contributes to patient safety and optimal clinical outcomes.

The 40° up-biting jaw provides a controlled upward cutting angle that allows gradual access beneath the lamina and surrounding bony anatomy. Compared with steeper jaw configurations, the 40° angle enables smoother engagement with bone surfaces while maintaining excellent visualization throughout the procedure. This makes the instrument particularly effective during laminectomy, laminotomy, foraminotomy, cervical decompression, lumbar decompression, microdiscectomy, minimally invasive spine surgery, and skull base procedures, where controlled bone removal is required.

One of the instrument’s most valuable features is its 360° rotating shaft mechanism, allowing the cutting tip to rotate independently while the handle remains stationary. This innovative mechanism enables surgeons to position the jaw precisely without altering hand position, improving ergonomics and reducing fatigue. The rotating shaft also provides improved access to difficult anatomical angles, increasing procedural efficiency and surgical accuracy.

The shaft is manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel and enhanced with a Panther coating, providing exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and surface abrasion. The Panther finish reduces reflective glare from operating room lighting and surgical microscopes, improving visualization during delicate procedures while maintaining smooth mechanical performance and long-term reliability.

This product is supplied as Shaft Only and is engineered exclusively for compatibility with the 70-2390 Handle. The secure modular locking mechanism enables quick attachment and removal, allowing surgeons to interchange shaft sizes and jaw configurations rapidly during surgery. This modular design improves operating room efficiency while reducing overall instrument inventory and maintenance costs.

The Neurosurgery Surgical Rotating Kerrison Rongeur Shaft is widely used during laminectomy, laminotomy, spinal decompression, cervical spine surgery, thoracic spine surgery, lumbar spine surgery, foraminotomy, microdiscectomy, minimally invasive spine surgery, cranial bone removal, and skull base surgery. The 1mm, 40° up-biting jaw provides highly controlled bone removal while preserving delicate neurological structures and maximizing surgical precision.

Designed as a reusable surgical instrument, the Rotating Kerrison Rongeur Shaft is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Its premium stainless steel construction and durable Panther coating ensure dependable long-term performance while maintaining smooth rotational movement, precise cutting action, and structural integrity after repeated sterilization cycles.

The Neurosurgery Surgical Rotating Kerrison Rongeur, 15mm Opening, 40° Up, 7″, 1mm — Shaft Only — Requires 70-2390 Handle, Panther combines advanced engineering, modular versatility, superior durability, and exceptional cutting precision.
