KEIR SURGICAL REDUCES CONTAIMINATION RISK WITH SECOND-GENERATION RONGEURS

Even after a proper sterilization cycle, the biomass material will remain and become hard and flakey over time. As more biomass material gets caught in the track with each use, the rongeur will eventually seize up and stop functioning. To find out more about the risk of contaminated rongeurs visit the CTV Winnipeg report here.

Keir Surgical has available, the second-generation of rongeurs that are detachable. Detachable rongeurs are easy to assemble and disassemble to ensure improved cleaning and lubrication through the sterile processing cycle. This dramatically reduces the risk of leftover biomass that can be trapped in the track guide.
