Jarit 280-240 10-1/2" Spurling-Kerrison Rongeur (3mm / 40° Up-Angled)

The Jarit 280-240 is a high-performance orthopedic and neurosurgical instrument designed for the precise resection of bone and soft tissue during spinal decompression. Featuring a 3 mm bite and a specialized 40° up-angled tip, this Kerrison rongeur allows surgeons to safely navigate the epidural space and remove compressive structures with a clear line of sight. With an 8-inch (203 mm) working length, it provides the necessary reach for deep-field lumbar procedures while maintaining the tactile sensitivity required for delicate cervical work.

Constructed from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the 280-240 utilizes a classic Spurling-pattern handle that provides excellent mechanical leverage. This ensures a clean, "snapping" bone cut with minimal hand effort, reducing surgeon fatigue during multi-level laminectomies. The instrument's internal slide mechanism is engineered for smooth actuation and easy debris clearance, a critical factor in maintaining surgical momentum.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Enhanced Anatomical Access: The 40° up-angle is specifically designed to fit under the edge of the lamina, allowing for the removal of the ligamentum flavum and bone without impinging on the spinal cord or nerve roots.

• High-Leverage Cutting: The Spurling handle geometry maximizes force transfer to the 3 mm bite, ensuring clean resections even through thickened, sclerotic bone.

• Deep-Field Reach: The 8-inch shaft is ideal for posterior spinal approaches in larger patients, providing a stable platform that doesn't "flex" under heavy biting pressure.

• Jarit Mechanical Integrity: Known for maintaining sharp cutting edges and fluid slide-action through thousands of autoclave cycles.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Functional Assessment: The slide mechanism has been tested and actuates smoothly. The 3 mm bite closes with 1:1 precision and the cutting edges remain sharp and free of significant nicks.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical use, including surface scuffs, light scratches, and typical sterilization-related patina. These are purely cosmetic and do not impact the mechanical integrity or the bone-cutting performance.

• Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated Spinal/Neuro protocols prior to use.

Warranty

• ✔ Primis "Clean-Cut" Guarantee We guarantee the Jarit 280-240 to have a smooth slide-action and perfectly aligned cutting jaws. If the bite fails to close completely or the mechanism binds upon arrival, Primis Medical will provide a full refund or replacement.
