Cushing Dressing & Tissue Forceps

Description

Cushing Dressing & Tissue Forceps

Cushing forceps have long, slim arms with a fine tip. They suit neurosurgery and other deep, narrow fields.

Serrated or 1:2

Serrated tips hold suture and dura gently. Meanwhile, 1:2 teeth grip tissue firmly.

Straight or curved

The straight version gives a direct line. By contrast, the curved version keeps the view open around the tip.

Carbide option

The carbide version keeps its grip much longer. So it suits busy neurosurgical theatres.

Where they help

Neurosurgeons use Cushing forceps to handle dura and small vessels. Then a bayonet forceps covers work under the microscope. Also, the slim arms suit deep spinal fields. In addition, Cushing forceps suit dura, small vessels and spinal work. Meanwhile, the carbide version holds its grip over many more cycles. Therefore neuro teams usually stock the serrated and the 1:2 Cushing side by side. Also, the Cushing forceps help during spinal decompression, where the slim tips pass beside the dura. For example, a neuro tray might carry an 18 cm serrated pair and a curved 1:2 pair. Meanwhile, the carbide option suits the busiest spinal lists.

Cleaning Cushing forceps

Wash the Cushing tips promptly after use. Next, rinse and dry the forceps thoroughly. Then store them in a rack with tip protection.
