Crile Nerve Hook
7.0 mm blunt, 8" (20.0 cm)Â Crile Nerve Hook is specially designed for use in neurosurgical procedures that require retraction and maneuvering of nerve and other delicate tissue. This hook features a long slim handle from which extends a narrower neck that at the end has a turn in it that forms an L-shaped hook. This hook features a blunt tip to prevent snagging or tearing of surrounding structures during exploration or retraction.
Crutchfield Skull Tongs
small pattern Crutchfield Skull Tongs are specialized tongs made for handling bony areas around delicate neural tissue. This instrument can be used to hyperextend and immobilize the head and neck to prevent further damage and trauma in patients suffering from a cervical vertebral injury. Used alongside a trephine or drill these tongs can be inserted into burr holes that have been drilled to aid in neurosurgical procedures that require precision and delicate handling of tissue.
Cushing Brain Spatula
Cushing Brain Spatula
double-ended
Cushing Brain Spatula is a unique instrument designed for use in neurosurgical procedures. It is double ended which makes it like having two tools in one with one side being larger. Each end features a slightly cup shaped depression that can be used for scooping. Additionally the scoops still maintain a flat profile that allows this instrument to be used more traditionally as a spatula for handling and maneuvering delicate brain tissue without causing injury via tears or by causing ischemia. This spatula is available in three different sizes to satisfy a variety of patient needs and surgeon preferences.
Cushing Burr
Cushing Burr
5/8" (16.0 mm)
Cushing Burr is ideally suited for use in neurosurgical procedures specifically of the brain. A drill can be used to start a pilot hole which can then be further enlarged via use of a burr. This instrument can be used in procedures such as craniotomies which require access through the bony skull down to the softer brain tissue. Additionally this burr is slightly spherical shaped and is 16.0 mm.
Cushing Decompression Retractor
fenestrated, 10.0 mm wide x 18.0 mm deep, 8" (20.0 cm)Â Cushing Decompression Retractor is made for use in treatment of spinal nerve and nerve root decompression surgeries that can be caused by spinal stenosis and intervertebral disc herniation. This is a very specialized instrument made for a very specific neurosurgical use. Additionally this retractor is fenestrated.
Cushing Ganglion Hook
blunt, 9" (23.0 cm)Cushing Ganglion Hook is a specialized surgical instrument used in spinal surgeries that requires manipulation of ganglia. This hook features a slim handle that elongates and further narrows and gives a slight turn creating the hook. Additionally this hook is blunt making it ideal for use in exploration and use in delicate tissue areas like in the spinal column and near other nervous tissue without causing damage.
Cushing Ivd Rongeur
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.
Cushing Ivd Rongeur – W/ Teeth
2.0 mm x 10.0 mm jaws, w/ teeth, 7" (18.0 cm)Â 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.
Cushing Nerve Hook
Cushing Nerve Hook is crafted for use in neurosurgical procedures that require retraction of nerves or other delicate tissue. The unique feature of this hook is the ball tip which that allows for exploration and retraction with reduced injury. The ball tip prevents any snagging or tearing of nerves or surrounding tissue that can occur from a different tip style. This hook is available in two different lengths 7.5" and 11" and in two ball tip sizes 4.0 mm and 6.0 mm.
Cushing Perforating Drill
Cushing Perforating Drill
1/2" (13.0 mm)
Cushing Perforating Drill is crafted for use in neurosurgical procedures. Specifically this drill can be used to access the brain through the skull in procedures such as craniectomies. This drill bit features a spatula like head that is 13.0 mm. It is designed to safely penetrate the bony layer to expose the surgical field that is located below without causing trauma to the delicate brain tissue.
Cushing Pituitary Spoon
Cushing Pituitary Spoon
silver plated, 9-1/4" (23.5 cm)
Cushing Pituitary Spoon is a specialized instrument uniquely suited for use in neurosurgical procedures in which the pituitary gland is involved. These procedures include hypophysectomies which is the surgical removal of the hypophysis and can be used in treatment of conditions such as Cushing's syndromes. The scoop shaped ending of this spoon allows it to be optimally used in removal of tumors. Additionally this spoon is silver placed and comes in five different sizes to suit a number of surgical scenarios.
