Designed to meet the rigorous demands of neurosurgery.
SQ.line® bone punches are designed to support your pursuit of precision and excellence – engineered specifically to meet the demands of spinal and cranial neurosurgery. Discover the difference that experience and innovation can make in your procedures.
At B. Braun, we are proud of our long-standing Aesculap® instrument tradition at the forefront of spinal and cranial neurosurgery, achieved by perfecting the latest technologies with our extensive clinical expertise. With our commitment to continuous innovation and improvement we strive to design instruments that deliver outstanding surgical performance while prioritising ergonomics and process optimisation.
So Consistent!
At B. Braun, quality is at the heart of everything we do. We recognise that delivering exceptional products requires a focus on quality and consistency from the very beginning of every development process.
Our state-of-the-art instrument manufacturing facilities meet the latest technological standards and have a continuous development process using the latest materials and techniques. When you choose an SQ.line® KERRISON, you are selecting a partner who is committed to delivering exceptional quality and precision at every step of the process.
So Comfortable!
Comfort and ease of use are critical factors for the success of any surgical procedure, and we have incorporated advanced ergonomic features into the design of our surgical instruments.
From the shape and size of the handles to the weight and balance of the tools, every aspect of the SQ.line® KERRISON bone punch has been carefully crafted to optimise the user experience. They provide a very good grip, [1] the lowest experienced cutting force [1] and therefore help to reduce hand fatigue hand fatigue improving the overall surgical experience. SQ.line® KERRISON bone punches allow you to focus on the demands of complex procedures without being hindered by discomfort or suboptimal instrument design. [2]
So Convenient!
The exceptional coating technology to reduce light reflections (compared to non-coated bone punches)[3],together with the clever instrument design, significantly reduce the risk of intraoperative jamming [4] and enable a fast removal of punched bone and tissue. [1] This intraoperative convenience was confirmed by our users during the extensive product test.
SQ.line® KERRISON bone punches support the perception of the Aesculap brand, which stands for tradition and quality. We believe you deserve the best in class to deliver outstanding results.
So Clean!
The SQ.line® KERRISON bone punches are the perfect choice for healthcare providers who value easy handling and efficient reprocessing. With fast and intuitive assembly and disassembly, [5] our bone punches make it easier than ever to optimise your workflow and save time and effort. Experience the difference for yourself and see why the SQ.line® KERRISON bone punches are the perfect choice for your organisation.

[1] Usability test with neurosurgeons. The usability test with neurosurgeons was performed to validate multiple customer requirements in terms of the performance and the ergonomics of SQ.line® KERRISON. The test was performed with 12 neurosurgeons within a simulated clinical environment. The performance and the ergonomic properties were rated positive.
[2] Handle comfort evaluation report. The SQ.line® KERRISON handle was compared in terms of comfort during use to its predecessor and one of its competitor’s handle. It is based on the visualization of prevailing surface pressure distributions during the actuation by means of pressure measuring foil. The SQ.line® KERRISON showed smaller areas of high surface pressure and a more homogeneous pressure distribution.
[3] Gloss value measurement. The gloss values of two new and five aged SQ.line® KERRISONs were measured on three defined areas from two different angles each. The results were compared to the values of uncoated Aesculap KERRISONs. The processing had no significant influence on the reflection behavior. The Noir® plus coating reduced reflections on the slider by 70% to 86%, on the main part by 47% to 63% and on the handle by 19% to 76% depending on the direction of measurement.
[4] Jamming test. Five samples of three different SQ.line® KERRISONs and previous Aesculap KERRISONs were tested on lamb spine with 50 repeated punches. The SQ.line® KERRISON showed no jamming for the duration of the test.
[5] Usability test with CSSD and OR personnel. The usability test with CSSD and OR personnel was performed to validate multiple customer requirements in terms of the reprocessing and handling of the upwards cutting SQ.line® KERRISON. Ten people with an average CSSD experience of more then five years where interviewed. The suitability for reprocessing and the handling were rated positive.
