Description

Cushing Pituitary Rongeur

The Cushing Pituitary Rongeur is a trusted instrument in spine surgery, known for its balance of precision and performance. Originally named after neurosurgical legend Dr. Harvey Cushing, this rongeur has evolved into a staple for removing intervertebral disc material during procedures like ACDF, PLIF, and lumbar decompressions. Its rounded, hand-finished 10mm cutting cup ensures consistent, clean removal of tissue with minimal trauma to surrounding structures.

Offered in straight, upbiting, and downbiting configurations, the Cushing Rongeur adapts seamlessly to different surgical approaches and anatomical challenges. Whether working anteriorly in a cervical space or posteriorly under the lamina, surgeons can select the angle that delivers the best access and visibility. These options enhance workflow and minimize the need for repositioning during complex procedures.

The instrument is available in lengths of 7″, 9″, 11″, and 14″, supporting both open and minimally invasive techniques. With bite widths from 0.5mm to 6.0mm, it offers precise control across a wide range of surgical scenarios, from fine work near nerve roots to more aggressive disc clearance in the lumbar spine. This range ensures a reliable bite profile suited to the patient’s anatomy and the surgeon’s style.

Built with high-quality materials and refined craftsmanship, the Cushing Pituitary Rongeur delivers dependable performance case after case. Its ergonomic feel and clean cutting action make it a favorite among spine surgeons who demand precision, versatility, and consistency in every pass.
