Weck 388500 3mm Spurling Kerrison Rongeur Orthopedic 11"

Weck 388500 3mm Spurling Kerrison Rongeur (11-Inch Length)

The Weck 388500 is a high-performance orthopedic and neurosurgical tool built for the exacting demands of spinal surgery. The 11-inch (28cm) overall length provides the necessary reach for bariatric patients or deep lumbar exposures, allowing the surgeon's hands to remain clear of the surgical site for better visualization. The 3mm Spurling jaw offers a balanced bite size—substantial enough for efficient bone removal during a laminectomy, yet precise enough for delicate work near nerve roots.

Constructed from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, this rongeur features a high-leverage handle design that translates minimal hand pressure into maximum biting force. This ergonomic advantage is critical for reducing surgeon fatigue during multi-level spinal decompressions.

Clinical & Design Advantages

• Extended Reach: The 11-inch shaft is ideal for posterior spinal approaches where standard 6-inch or 8-inch rongeurs lack sufficient depth.

• Clean Cutting Action: Precision-ground jaws ensure a clean bone break, reducing the need for secondary smoothing with a bone rasp or burr.

• Superior Ergonomics: Large handle loops accommodate gloved hands comfortably, providing the tactile feedback necessary for "feeling" the bone-to-ligament interface.

• Durable Spring Tension: Designed with a robust return spring to ensure the jaw opens quickly and reliably after every bite, streamlining the workflow.

Condition

• Status: Used – Good Functional Condition.

• Functional Assessment: The cutting edges have been inspected for "nicks" and sharpness. The spring tension is strong, and the hinge pin is secure with no excessive lateral play.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of professional usage, including typical surface scuffs and minor finish wear consistent with repeated sterilization. These do not affect the mechanical integrity or the sharpness of the bite.

• Reprocessing Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved according to your facility’s validated orthopedic/neuro instrument protocols prior to clinical use.
