Jarit Kerrison Micro Rongeur | 90° Up-Bite | 1mm Tip | 11" Shaft | Reusable

The Jarit 281-064 is a high-precision microsurgical instrument engineered for the delicate removal of bone and soft tissue in confined anatomical spaces. Featuring an ultra-fine 1mm tip and a 90° up-biting geometry, this Kerrison rongeur is the clinical standard for performing precise laminotomies and foraminotomies where proximity to the spinal cord or nerve roots requires absolute control.

The 11-inch (27.9 cm) shaft provides the necessary reach for deep surgical corridors, such as those encountered in posterior lumbar fusions or cervical decompressions, while the micro-thin footplate ensures safe insertion beneath the lamina with minimal dural displacement.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Ultra-Thin 1mm Footplate: The distal "foot" is precision-ground to a micro-profile, allowing the surgeon to slide the instrument into the tightest neural foramina without compressing the underlying nerve root or thecal sac.

• 11-Inch Deep-Access Shaft: The extended length is specifically designed to clear tall retractors and bulky soft tissue in larger patients or multi-level spinal reconstructions, providing a clear line of sight to the decompression site.

• 90° Up-Biting Precision: The vertical bite trajectory allows for the "nipping" of the superior lamina or the ligamentum flavum at a direct perpendicular angle, which is essential for controlled bone removal during a hemilaminectomy.

• Double-Action Leverage: The double-spring handle mechanism translates minimal hand pressure into high cutting force at the 1mm tip. This reduces hand fatigue during repetitive bone removal and provides a smooth, predictable "snap" when the bone is transected.

• Jarit Surgical Forging: Known for exceptional edge retention, Jarit rongeurs maintain a sharp cutting interface even after repeated contact with dense cortical bone, reducing the "pulling" sensation during tissue removal.

Applications

• Spine Surgery: Micro-discectomy, cervical/lumbar laminectomy, and foraminotomy.

• Neurosurgery: Cranial base surgery and dural decompression.

• Orthopedic Trauma: Fine bone trimming in small-fragment fixations near joint capsules.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Usable Condition.

• Maintenance: This instrument shows visible signs of professional use (minor surface scuffs consistent with standard tray storage and autoclaving), but it remains fully functional. The 1mm cutting edges are intact and align perfectly, the double-action spring is responsive, and the 11-inch shaft is perfectly straight.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical instrumentation and hospital materials, Primis Medical ensures all specialized Jarit neuro-tools are function-verified and ultrasonically cleaned prior to shipment.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in specialized protective packaging to ensure the delicate 1mm tip and double-action hinge remain in factory-standard alignment during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
