The Cushing Pituitary Rongeur
The Cushing Pituitary Rongeur is a versatile and essential instrument for disc removal in spine surgery, offering exceptional reach, control, and precision. Named after neurosurgical pioneer Harvey Cushing, this rongeur features a hand-finished, 10mm round cutting cup for smooth, clean bites. Available in straight, upbiting, and downbiting orientations and in lengths of 7″, 9″, 11″, and 14″, it accommodates various surgical approaches, including ACDF, PLIF, and decompression procedures.
With bite widths ranging from 0.5mm to 6.0mm, the Cushing Rongeur provides tailored control for everything from delicate disc removal near the dura to aggressive bone clearing in deeper lumbar spaces. Its ergonomic balance and precise construction make it a dependable instrument in both open and minimally invasive spine procedures.
