Kerrison Rongeurs

We manufacture and export kerrison rongeurs for Sialkot, Punjab, Pakistan. Loose or Missing Screws/Pins: Rongeurs have many screws and pins, each of which must be secured for the instrument to function properly. To test the screw connecting the handle to the body is secure; gently push the handles back and forth. If the front handle rattles the instrument needs to be repaired. The top shaft of the rongeur is secured to the body by a driving pin. If this pin or other components within the rongeur are not secure the top shaft cannot be driven forward properly to apply the cutting edge. In either case the instrument should be sent in for repair. If the instrument is missing any of these screws or pins the instrument will not work or will be in multiple pieces. In this case, send all of the components, even if they are broken, in to be repaired or replaced.

Worn Out or Broken Spring: When a spring is working well there should be pressure when closing the instrument and it should return abruptly to its original position. When the spring is worn out the instrument will not have a firm feel. It may also stick when returning to its original position (sticking can be caused by other issues as well. See #4). More commonly, the spring will break before it is worn out. Whether the spring wears out or breaks the instrument should be sent out for repair or replacement parts.
