Pituitary rongeur
This image shows a pituitary rongeur, a stainless steel surgical instrument characterized by its long, narrow shaft and pistol-grip handle.
The tip has a small, cup-shaped, serrated jaw designed for grasping and removing bone fragments, cartilage, or soft tissue in deep or confined surgical sites.
The ergonomic handle allows precise control and comfortable operation during delicate procedures.
Pituitary rongeurs are commonly used in neurosurgery and spinal surgeries, such as discectomies and laminectomies, to clear bone or disc material near the spinal cord or pituitary region.
