Steribite® Disposable Kerrison
Single-Use Kerrison Rongeur
The Steribite® kerrison was designed to eliminate many of the design issues of standard reusable kerrisons. There are no screws that can fall out, and the spring is recessed to avoid snagging gloves during use. The Steribite® kerrsion also features a thin footplate and an ergonomic comfortable handle design, with color coding for the various tip sizes. They are packaged sterile and designed to be used one time and then discarded. No risk of infections or bioburden and sharp for every case.

The Steribite® kerrison ensures this critical instrument is always as sharp as ‘first-use,’ reducing procedure time, improving accuracy, and optimizing patient safety. Kerrison cutting/biting edge sharpness (as measured by Blade Sharpness Index) decreases by approximately 15% after a single surgical use, and by as much as 50% after use in only four surgeries, yet reusable kerrisons are rarely sharpened before 20 or more surgical uses. Studies have also shown a direct correlation between sharpness and post sterilization bone contamination.1 Steribite® Kerrisons avoid these common dangers of reusable kerrisons, providing a biting blade that is always perfectly sharp.
