Kerrison rongeur
This image shows a Kerrison rongeur, a stainless steel surgical instrument with a plier-like handle and a sharp, angled jaw designed for cutting and removing small pieces of bone.
It features a spring-loaded mechanism for controlled movement and serrated edges for a firm grip.
Kerrison rongeurs are commonly used in spinal and neurosurgical operations, such as laminectomies, to access and clear bone around delicate structures like the spinal cord and nerves.
