SQ.line is design thinking that prioritizes surgeon well-being as a key factor in patient outcomes and surgical career development. Frequent bone punching can cause hand and arm pain, with spine surgeons at particular risk for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). MSDs can significantly impact physical health, even forcing some to take leaves of absence, limit or alter their practice, or retire early. [1]

of spine surgeons suffer from musculoskeletal disorders
We know that spine surgeons are at high risk for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) as a result of their work, and spine surgeons are particularly at risk. According to systematic reviews, the prevalence of MSDs among spine surgeons is estimated to be between 35% and 60%. These conditions take a significant toll on surgeons, with 12% of surgeons with MSD requiring a leave of absence, a change in their practice, or early retirement. [1]
At B. Braun we understand the importance of minimizing harm to the treating surgeon while maximizing patient outcomes. That's why we've developed the SQ.line® KERRISON – a bone punch with a handle designed for ergonomics and personal comfort. [2]
