The Neurosurgery Rotating Kerrison Shaft 6″ Bayonet 4mm 40° Up is a high-quality modular neurosurgical instrument designed for precise bone resection during complex spinal and cranial procedures. Specifically engineered for use with the 70-2390 Micro Handle, this detachable rotating shaft combines advanced engineering, ergonomic handling, and consistent cutting performance to meet the demanding requirements of modern neurosurgery. It is an indispensable instrument for neurosurgeons and spine specialists who require controlled bone removal while protecting surrounding neural and soft tissue structures.

The instrument features a 6-inch (150mm) Bayonet shaft, providing outstanding maneuverability and enhanced visualization during microsurgical procedures. The Bayonet configuration offsets the surgeon’s hand away from the direct line of sight, creating an unobstructed view of the operative field when working under a surgical microscope or magnification system. This ergonomic design improves surgical precision, enhances comfort, and allows greater control when operating within deep or narrow anatomical corridors.

Equipped with a 4mm footplate, this Kerrison shaft provides an excellent balance between precision and cutting efficiency. The 4mm bite size enables controlled removal of moderate amounts of cortical and cancellous bone while preserving surrounding anatomical structures. It is particularly effective for procedures that require accurate decompression without excessive bone removal, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of neurosurgical applications.

The 40° up-biting jaw is specifically designed to provide gradual upward access beneath the lamina and adjacent bony structures. This jaw configuration allows surgeons to remove bone with exceptional control while maintaining excellent visualization of the surgical site. The 40° angle offers smooth access during decompression procedures and is especially beneficial when working around sensitive neurological tissues where precision is essential.

A key feature of this instrument is its 360° rotating shaft mechanism, allowing the working tip to rotate freely without requiring the surgeon to reposition the handle. This rotational capability enables precise alignment of the cutting jaw with the surgical anatomy, improving ergonomics and facilitating efficient bone removal from difficult-to-reach areas. By minimizing unnecessary wrist movement, the rotating design helps reduce surgeon fatigue during lengthy procedures while improving procedural accuracy.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Rotating Kerrison Shaft offers outstanding strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical durability. Precision machining ensures accurate jaw alignment, smooth rotational movement, 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.

Designed specifically for compatibility with the 70-2390 Micro Handle, this modular shaft provides a secure locking mechanism that enables rapid attachment and removal during surgery. The interchangeable design allows surgeons to switch between different shaft lengths, bite sizes, and jaw configurations while using the same handle, improving workflow efficiency and reducing instrument inventory requirements.

The Neurosurgery Surgical Rotating Kerrison 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 4mm, 40° up-biting jaw offers excellent versatility for controlled bone excision while protecting adjacent neural structures and maintaining surgical precision.

As a reusable surgical instrument, the Rotating Kerrison Shaft is fully compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Its premium stainless steel construction ensures dependable long-term performance while maintaining precise cutting action and smooth mechanical operation after repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles.

The Neurosurgery Surgical Rotating Kerrison Shaft, 6″ (150mm) Bayonet, 4mm, 40° Up, Stainless Steel, Requires 70-2390 Micro combines advanced engineering, ergonomic Bayonet design, modular compatibility, and precision cutting performance. It is an essential instrument for neurosurgeons and spine surgeons seeking reliable bone removal during complex spinal and cranial procedures.
