Kerrison Rongeurs are commonly used in many orthopedic, spine, and neurosurgical procedures at VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) and DoD Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs). Most surgeons would agree that a sharp cutting surface is required for precision, accuracy, efficiency, and for the avoidance of soft tissue damage. One of the drawbacks for reusable Kerrisons is that the cutting surface can become dull causing the surgeon to twist or pull the bone and soft tissue during each pass of the instrument, as opposed to achieving a clean, precise cut.

Spartan’s single-use Sterile Always Sharp (SAS) Kerrison is a high-quality metal instrument with the traditional look and feel of reusable Kerrisons; but, without the issue of a dull or deformed cutting surface from continued use and reprocessing. Surgeons can have confidence that the SAS Kerrison’s cutting surface will always be sharp straight out of the package.
