Description

The Caspar Pituitary Rongeur

The Caspar Pituitary Rongeur is a spine surgery necessity, widely used for removing intervertebral disc material in procedures such as ACDF, PLIF, and lumbar decompressions. Named for pioneering neurosurgeon Dr. Wolfhard Caspar, this rongeur is built for clean, controlled resection of soft tissue in tight surgical corridors. Its hand-finished, fenestrated 10mm cup allows for efficient removal of disc material with each pass, while maintaining a smooth, responsive feel in the surgeon’s hand.

Engineered for stability and control, the cup features a series of five interlocking teeth on each edge, which securely grip fibrous disc tissue and prevent slippage during excision. This design delivers a strong, confident bite, ideal for working close to sensitive structures such as the dura and nerve roots. Whether approaching anteriorly or posteriorly, the Cushing Rongeur’s cutting strength and reliable grip help minimize repeated passes and reduce tissue trauma.

The rongeur is available in straight, up biting, and down biting orientations, allowing spine surgeons to choose the right angle for accessing disc space under the endplates, behind the vertebral body, or deep in the canal. It comes in 7″, 9″, and 14″ lengths, making it suitable for both open and minimally invasive access across the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine.

Offered in bite widths from 2.0mm to 6.0mm, the Caspar Pituitary Rongeurs provides ample versatility for different surgical demands, whether performing delicate cervical work or more robust lumbar disc clearance. Durable, ergonomic, and refined for surgical performance, it remains a trusted choice for spine surgeons seeking a reliable, high-performing rongeur built for precision and power.
