The Rotating Kerrison Shaft 7″ Bayonet 5mm 90° Up Stainless Steel is a specialized neurosurgical micro instrument designed for surgeons who require enhanced access, precision, and dependable performance during demanding operative procedures. This advanced rotating Kerrison shaft combines a bayonet profile, angled cutting tip, and precision-engineered rotating mechanism to provide improved control during bone removal and decompression applications.

Designed with a 7-inch (175mm) bayonet shaft configuration, this instrument offers superior visualization and ergonomic positioning compared with traditional straight shaft designs. The bayonet shape helps maintain the surgeon’s line of sight by offsetting the working end from the handle, making it particularly useful in deep surgical fields where visibility and instrument clearance are essential. This design supports precise manipulation while reducing obstruction within the operative area.

The instrument features a 5mm Kerrison bite size, providing efficient removal of larger sections of bone and tissue during appropriate neurosurgical procedures. The larger jaw capacity allows surgeons to perform controlled decompression while maintaining accuracy and stability. It is suitable for procedures where effective bone removal and improved surgical efficiency are required.

The 90° upward angled tip enhances access to difficult anatomical locations by allowing the surgeon to approach structures from an optimized angle. This configuration improves visibility and instrument positioning during spinal and cranial procedures. The upward-facing design supports controlled removal of bone while helping maintain proper alignment within the surgical field.

The integrated rotating shaft mechanism provides increased flexibility during microsurgical procedures. Surgeons can adjust the orientation of the cutting jaws without repeatedly repositioning the instrument, improving workflow and allowing better access to various anatomical angles. The smooth rotation system supports accurate handling and consistent cutting performance throughout the procedure.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, this rotating Kerrison shaft provides excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. The stainless steel construction allows the instrument to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining its strength, precision, and functional performance. It is designed for use in professional surgical environments where instrument quality and reliability are essential.

This Kerrison shaft is specifically designed to require the 70-2390 Micro system, ensuring compatibility with specialized microsurgical equipment. The secure connection provides dependable operation and supports integration into advanced neurosurgical instrument setups.

Common applications include spinal decompression, laminectomy, cervical and lumbar spine surgery, microdiscectomy, and cranial microsurgical procedures. The instrument assists surgeons in removing bone and achieving adequate decompression while maintaining controlled movements around sensitive neurological structures.

The ergonomic bayonet design improves surgeon comfort by providing better hand positioning and reducing interference during deep surgical access. Its reusable construction offers excellent value when maintained according to recommended medical instrument cleaning and sterilization protocols.

The Neurosurgery Surgical Rotating Kerrison Shaft 7″ Bayonet 5mm 90° Up Stainless Steel is an essential instrument for modern neurosurgical teams seeking a combination of precision engineering, durability, and improved surgical accessibility.
