Intervertebral Disc Rongeur

double fenestrated jaw, back of cup serrated Caspar-Type IVD Rongeur is ideally suited for use in neurosurgical spinal procedures in which the intervertebral discs are handled. A vast array of spinal procedures including treatments for herniated discs such as discectomies will find this rongeur highly useful. Additionally this rongeur features a cup that is serrated at the back as well as a double fenestrated jaw which gives it a superior surface area to force applied ratio that causes less deformation of the delicate fibro-cartilaginous IVD. This rongeur is available in two lengths 6.25" and 7.25" as well as straight, angled up, angled down.

1.5 mm x 10.0 mm slender jaws Cushing Slender Rongeur is an instrument ideally suited for use in neurosurgical orthopedic procedures that require cutting or clipping of the intervertebral discs (IVDs). This fibrocartilagenous layer lies between the vertebrae of the spine. A variety of spinal procedures including discectomies require manipulation of IVDs and this rongeur is designed to do so. It features a ring handle design which aids in manual operation as well as the jaws being set at an angle from the handles allowing them to be immersed in the field while the handles are still easily accessible. This instrument is available in two lengths 7" and 9" and either straight or angled up or down.

2.0 mm x 10.0 mm jawsCushing IVD Rongeur is ideally suited for use in orthopedic neurosurgical procedures. It is specifically designed for use in manipulation of intervertebral disks. Generally it can be used in discectomy produces to remove a herniated disc. Additionally it can be used in intervertebral disc arthoplasty or total disc replacement procedures to alleviate spinal pain. The jaws of this rongeur features teeth that allow it to more securely grasp the IVD and it is available in straight profile or angled up or down.

fenestrated jaws, 4.0 mm x 8.0 mm, 70 degrees up-angled, 7" (17.8 cm) Jackson IVD Rongeur is a highly specialized instrument made for use in handling the intervertebral discs. Between each bony vertebrae there is a fibro-cartilaginous segment that allows for cushioning of the vertebral column as the patient moves. A number of spinal procedures such as discectomies require the use of such an instrument to surgically repair a herniated disc. The unique design of this rongeur features fenestrated jaws which allows for the pressure applied to be spread over a larger surface area thus reducing any deformation of the IVD.
