Cloward-Style Rongeurs

fenestrated jaw Wilde IVD Ronger is crafted for use in surgical procedures of the spine that require manipulation and handling of intervertebral discs. These fibro-cartilaginous tissue structures are found interspersed between adjacent vertebrae. A unique aspect of this rongeur is its fenestrated jaw that allows it to apply pressure over a larger surface area which results in the least amount of deformation to the IVD. This instrument is available in 3 lengths: 5.5", 7" and 9" as well as a variety of different jaw lengths and profiles including straight, angled up or down making it suitable for any surgical scenario.

2.0 mm x 10.0 mm jaws, w/ teeth, 7" (18.0 cm) Cushing 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.

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.
