Codman 53-1500C Kerrison Cervical Rongeur Thin Footplate 40° Up 2mm Bite 8-3/4"

Codman 53-1500C 2mm Thin-Footplate Kerrison Cervical Rongeur (8-3/4")

The Codman 53-1500C is a premium spinal instrument built for the delicate requirements of cervical neurosurgery. The 8-3/4 inch (22.2 cm) length provides the ideal balance of reach and tactile feedback for the cervical anatomy. The 40° up-angle allows for an ergonomic hand position while maintaining a clear line of sight to the surgical target.

What sets the 53-1500C apart is the Thin Footplate technology. By reducing the thickness of the lower jaw, Codman has created an instrument that can safely enter the narrowest epidural spaces, making it the "gold standard" for removing the ligamentum flavum and osteophytes in patients with stenotic canals.
