Description
The Codman 53‑1418 Pituitary Rongeur is a precision surgical instrument designed for controlled removal of soft tissue, disc material, and small bone fragments during spinal and neurosurgical procedures. This instrument features a long, slender shaft with a small cup-style biting jaw at the distal tip, allowing for accurate access in deep or confined operative sites.
The pistol-grip, spring-loaded handle provides ergonomic, one-handed operation with precise control and reduced hand fatigue. The straight shaft configuration supports accurate alignment, while the fine jaws enable delicate, controlled excision. Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, this instrument is built for durability and repeated sterilization in demanding clinical environments.
