The Neurosurgery Rotating Kerrison Rongeur 7″ 1mm 90° Up Shaft is a precision-engineered modular neurosurgical instrument developed for delicate bone resection during advanced spinal and cranial procedures. Designed specifically for compatibility with the 70-2390 Handle, this detachable rotating shaft delivers outstanding cutting accuracy, ergonomic handling, and dependable durability. It is an essential instrument for neurosurgeons and spine surgeons performing microsurgical decompression procedures that demand exceptional precision and control.

With an overall length of 7 inches (175mm), this rotating Kerrison shaft offers an ideal balance between reach and maneuverability. The medium-length shaft provides excellent access to deep operative fields while maintaining superior tactile feedback and instrument control. It is particularly well suited for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine procedures where accurate bone removal is essential for safe and effective decompression.

The instrument incorporates a 15mm opening, allowing smooth and efficient jaw movement throughout each cutting cycle. This optimized opening ensures controlled engagement of bone while maintaining consistent cutting performance during repetitive surgical use. The design contributes to greater surgical efficiency and minimizes unnecessary hand movement during prolonged procedures.

Equipped with a 1mm footplate, this Kerrison Rongeur shaft is intended for ultra-precise bone removal around delicate anatomical structures. The fine bite size enables surgeons to remove extremely small sections of cortical and cancellous bone with exceptional control while preserving surrounding neural tissue, blood vessels, and soft tissue structures. The 1mm bite is ideal for microsurgical decompression procedures where gradual and meticulous bone excision is required to maximize patient safety.

The 90° up-biting jaw provides direct upward access beneath the lamina and adjacent bony anatomy. This jaw configuration allows efficient bone removal from difficult-to-reach locations while maintaining excellent visibility of the operative field. The vertical cutting angle is particularly effective during laminectomy, laminotomy, foraminotomy, cervical decompression, lumbar decompression, and microdiscectomy, allowing precise decompression while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.

A key feature of this instrument is its 360° rotating shaft mechanism, allowing the cutting tip to rotate independently while the handle remains stationary. This advanced design enables surgeons to accurately position the working end without changing wrist position, improving ergonomics and reducing fatigue during lengthy procedures. The rotating mechanism also facilitates access to challenging anatomical angles while enhancing overall surgical precision and procedural efficiency.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Rotating Kerrison Rongeur Shaft provides outstanding mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. Precision machining ensures smooth rotational movement, accurate jaw alignment, and dependable cutting performance throughout repeated surgical use. The polished stainless steel finish supports easy cleaning and complies with modern hospital sterilization and infection control protocols.

This product is supplied as Shaft Only and is engineered exclusively for use with the 70-2390 Handle. The secure modular locking mechanism enables rapid attachment and removal, allowing surgeons to quickly interchange shaft lengths and bite sizes without replacing the handle. This modular system improves operating room efficiency while reducing instrument inventory requirements 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 procedures. The 1mm, 90° up-biting jaw offers exceptional precision for delicate decompression around critical neurological structures while maintaining maximum control throughout the procedure.

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 ensures dependable long-term performance while maintaining cutting precision, smooth rotational function, and structural integrity after repeated sterilization cycles.

The Neurosurgery Surgical Rotating Kerrison Rongeur, 15mm Opening, 90° Up, 7″, 1mm — Shaft Only — Requires 70-2390 Handle combines advanced engineering, modular versatility, and exceptional cutting performance. It is a trusted choice for neurosurgeons seeking precision, durability, and reliability during advanced spinal and cranial surgical procedures.
