We have them in micro handle, spurling handle, with or without ejector, standard and thin footplates, straight, bayonet, curved, take-apart, and those with rotating shafts. They all have our PATENTED BLACK CERAMIC COATING. If you do not see the length or pattern you need, contact us at (800) 497-0851 for a quotation. WIGGINS MEDICAL introduced the ceramic-coated design to the US market in July 1995. Our intent was to provide a bone-biting instrument with a razor-smooth cutting action, produce less hand fatigue for the surgeon, and reduce the problem of glare. An unexpected result was that the patented special coating actually extended the cutting life of the instrument. We have some customers that have never had to have the instruments resharpened. We can say, with confidence, that we have the “THINNEST THIN FOOTPLATE”, even in a 1mm size. Our thin footplate pattern should only be used in cervical or other delicate procedures. IF SCREWS HAVE EVER FALLEN OUT OF YOUR KERRISONS.......our kerrison screws are reverse-threaded so they will not back out. As you squeeze the handle, the screws stay SECURELY in place. WHY BUY OUR IVD (PITUITARY) RONGEURS? STANDARD PITUITARY IVD RONGEURS - We were the first to offer an ultra-thin, 1 mm, micro intervertebral disc rongeur. Of course, the smoothness, anti-glare, and precise cutting edge are a result of fine German craftsmanship and our black ceramic coating. FENESTRATED PITUITARY IVD RONGEURS-This is a very popular style. In our version, the cup shape is slightly tapered to allow better access to the disc space. There are teeth placed proximally in the cup to hold tissue better. The fenestrations allow tissue to expand into the cup and give the surgeon a more precise bite. PEAPOD RONGEURS - We have an updated version of the Peapod in that we have developed a 1 mm and a 1.5 mm pattern. We offer only the 7” size as patients have gotten larger over the years. Why waste hospital money on the shorter patterns that are seldom used? ALIF IVD RONGEURS - We were the first to offer a 14” long intervertebral disc rongeur specially designed to accommodate the anterior approach to lumbar disc surgery. WHY BUY OUR BONE RONGEURS? 1) The double action minimizes hand fatigue. 2) The black ceramic coating extends the life of the cutting edge and reduces glare. 3) The cup is hand polished for a more precise cut. WHY BUY OUR TITANIUM DISTRACTION PINS VS. STAINLESS STEEL? TITANIUM IS: 1) LIGHTER 2) STRONGER 3) SAFER 4) IMPLANT GRADE 5) NICKEL-FREE (NO NICKEL ALLERGEN) 6) SELF TAPPING TIP (MOST PRE-DRILLING NOT NEEDED) 7) SHOULDER FITS CLOSE TO THE BONE (GREATER LATERAL STABILITY & MORE SECURE HOLD) 8) GREATER IMAGING QUALITY 9) PRE-PACKAGED STERILE, SINGLE USE
