Description

Sklar's Kerrision detachable rongeur with thin footplates and an ejector is used in spinal laminectomy procedures of the vertebral arch. The profile size allows for use in delicate areas near the spinal cord. This black titanium nitride coated surface protects the instrument for durability and smoothness, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. This version has a 40 degree upward angled tip, and is available in different lengths and bite sizes.
