KMedic KM47-492 Leksell Rongeur 15° Curved 9x16mm 9”

KMedic Leksell Rongeur | 15° Curved | 9x16mm Jaws | Double-Action | KM47-492

The KMedic KM47-492 is a premium double-action rongeur engineered for the high-torque demands of spinal and orthopedic surgery. Specifically designed for laminectomies and bone contouring, the Leksell pattern is the industry standard for removing dense cortical bone and thick ligamentous tissue.

The double-action mechanism is a critical feature, utilizing a secondary hinge to multiply the surgeon's hand force. This provides a significant mechanical advantage, allowing for the effortless resection of tough bone fragments while reducing hand fatigue during long procedures. The 15-degree curved jaws and 9x16mm fenestrated bite are optimized for "low-profile" access, allowing the surgeon to navigate around neural structures to reach the base of the lamina or the articular processes.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: KMedic (Integra LifeSciences)

• Model / REF: KM47-492

• Instrument Type: Leksell Bone Rongeur

• Material: High-Grade Surgical Stainless Steel

• Mechanism: Double-Action (Dual Pivot)

• Jaw Configuration: 15° Curved

• Bite Size: 9 mm x 16 mm (Fenestrated)

• Overall Length: 9 inches (230 mm)

• Quantity: 1 Each

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Superior Mechanical Leverage: The dual-pivot design allows for maximum cutting power with minimal physical exertion. This ensures a smooth, controlled "bite" rather than a jarring snap, which is vital when working in close proximity to the spinal cord or nerve roots.

• 15° Anatomical Curvature: The subtle 15-degree bend in the neck and jaws improves visualization by keeping the surgeon's hand and the bulky handle assembly out of the direct line of sight, especially when working through a deep surgical tube or narrow incision.

• 9x16mm Fenestrated Jaws: The large bite capacity allows for the efficient removal of significant bone volume, while the "scoop" shape of the jaws effectively captures and holds the resected bone for easy retrieval from the wound.

• Ergonomic Grip: The textured, wide-grip handles provide excellent tactile feedback and prevent slipping, even when used with double-layered surgical gloves.

• Surgical-Grade Durability: KMedic instruments are forged from high-density stainless steel to maintain edge sharpness and hinge alignment through thousands of sterilization cycles.

Applications

• Spine Surgery: Performing laminectomies, foraminotomies, and removing osteophytes during spinal fusions.

• Orthopedic Trauma: Trimming irregular bone edges during fracture reduction or preparing the intramedullary canal.

• Neurosurgery: Removing sections of the cranium or spinal column to relieve pressure (decompression).

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — In Good Condition.

• Integrity: The double-action hinge is fluid and free of "play" or sticking. The cutting edges of the 9x16mm jaws are sharp and meet with perfect alignment for a clean shear.

• Maintenance Requirement: As a reusable stainless steel instrument, this rongeur must undergo a validated decontamination and sterilization cycle (standard steam autoclave) in accordance with hospital protocols and KMedic’s Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to clinical use in 2026.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical hardware, Primis Medical ensures all heavy-duty bone instruments are inspected for structural integrity and mechanical precision.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in specialized protective packaging to ensure the jaw alignment and hinge pins are protected from shock during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
