The Rotating Kerrison Shaft 7″ Bayonet 3mm 40° Up Panther Coat is a high-performance neurosurgical instrument developed to meet the exacting standards of modern microsurgery. Designed for precision bone removal and neural decompression, this rotating Kerrison shaft provides outstanding control, enhanced visibility, and reliable performance during delicate spinal and cranial procedures. It is specifically engineered for use with the 70-2390P Micro system, ensuring seamless integration into advanced microsurgical instrument sets.

Constructed with a 7-inch (175mm) bayonet shaft, this instrument offers superior access to deep operative fields while maintaining an unobstructed view of the surgical site. The bayonet configuration offsets the handle from the working tip, allowing surgeons to maintain direct visualization throughout the procedure. This ergonomic design minimizes hand interference and improves maneuverability, making it especially valuable during minimally invasive and microscopic spinal procedures.

The 3mm biting jaw is designed to provide accurate and controlled bone removal while preserving surrounding anatomical structures. This jaw size offers an ideal balance between cutting efficiency and precision, allowing surgeons to remove lamina, osteophytes, and small bone fragments with confidence. The carefully machined cutting edges deliver smooth, consistent performance during repetitive bone excision.

Its 40° upward biting tip enhances access to difficult anatomical locations while maintaining excellent visualization. This upward angle enables surgeons to approach bone structures from an optimal direction during cervical and lumbar decompression procedures, helping improve procedural efficiency and surgical precision. The 40° configuration is particularly useful in microsurgical techniques where controlled access is essential.

A defining feature of this instrument is its rotating shaft mechanism, which allows the cutting jaw to rotate smoothly during surgery without requiring the surgeon to reposition the entire instrument. This functionality improves workflow, enhances surgical flexibility, and allows precise orientation in confined operative spaces. The rotation mechanism supports accurate bone removal while reducing unnecessary hand movement during complex procedures.

The instrument is finished with an advanced Panther Coat, a premium protective surface treatment developed to improve wear resistance and long-term durability. The Panther Coat helps reduce surface abrasion, enhances corrosion resistance, and contributes to smoother instrument operation during repeated clinical use. This specialized finish also helps maintain the professional appearance and functional integrity of the instrument after numerous sterilization cycles.

Designed for compatibility with the 70-2390P Micro system, this rotating Kerrison shaft provides a secure fit and dependable mechanical performance. Its precision manufacturing ensures smooth articulation and consistent cutting action, making it suitable for demanding neurosurgical applications.

This instrument is widely used during laminectomy, laminotomy, spinal decompression, cervical spine surgery, lumbar spine surgery, microdiscectomy, foraminotomy, and cranial microsurgical procedures. It enables surgeons to remove bone with exceptional accuracy while protecting adjacent neural structures and soft tissues.

Manufactured to the highest surgical standards, the Neurosurgery Surgical Rotating Kerrison Shaft 7″ Bayonet 3mm 40° Up Panther Coat combines advanced engineering, ergonomic design, and durable construction to meet the needs of modern neurosurgeons and spine specialists. Its reusable design supports long-term clinical use when cleaned, inspected, and sterilized according to established medical protocols.
