Cushing IVD Rongeur, 2×10mm, Up-Biting, 7″, Titanium

Cushing IVD Rongeur, 2 × 10 mm, Up-Biting, 7″, Titanium is a specialized spinal instrument used during procedures requiring controlled removal of intervertebral disc material and soft tissues within confined operative spaces.

Designed for precise tissue excision and atraumatic handling, this instrument enables surgeons to grasp and remove disc fragments, fibrous tissue, and other soft tissues while preserving surrounding anatomical structures.

The defining feature of this instrument is its 2 × 10 mm up-biting jaw configuration, which facilitates efficient tissue capture and removal in superiorly oriented operative fields. The up-biting design provides enhanced access to difficult-to-reach areas within the intervertebral space and supports controlled excision during spinal decompression procedures.

With an overall length of 7 inches (17.8 cm), the instrument offers an optimal balance between reach and maneuverability, allowing precise operation within deep surgical corridors while maintaining excellent tactile feedback.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium, the Cushing IVD Rongeur is significantly lighter than conventional stainless steel instruments, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. Titanium construction also provides exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and compatibility with advanced imaging environments.

The ergonomic handle design delivers balanced control and comfortable operation, while the satin or matte low-glare finish minimizes reflections under surgical lighting and microscope illumination.

Widely used in hospitals, spine surgery centers, and specialty clinics, this instrument is an essential component of spinal and microsurgical instrument sets.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the instrument is designed to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining jaw alignment, cutting efficiency, and structural integrity.

Common Clinical Applications Include:

• Spine Surgery
• Lumbar Discectomy
• Cervical Discectomy
• Thoracic Spine Procedures
• Spinal Decompression
• Intervertebral Disc Removal
• Microsurgical Procedures
• Soft Tissue Excision
• Neural Structure Decompression
• Surgical Field Preparation
