7 1/4″ Cushing Bayonet Forceps 1×2 Teeth

The 7 1/4″ Cushing Bayonet Forceps is a specialized neurosurgical instrument designed for precision grasping and manipulation of delicate tissues during microsurgical procedures. Its bayonet shape keeps the surgeon’s hand away from the operative line, allowing for unobstructed visibility and enhanced control.

With an overall length of 7 1/4 inches and 1×2 toothed tips, this forceps provides a defined grasping profile for neurosurgical applications. The lightweight and well-balanced design allows for comfortable handling, supporting controlled manual manipulation during intricate procedures.

Key Features

• 7 1/4-inch overall length for optimal handling during microsurgery.
• 1×2 toothed tips provide a secure grasp of delicate tissues.
• Bayonet configuration for unobstructed visibility and precision.
• Designed for neurosurgical and microsurgical procedures.
• Supports positioning of the working end within the operative field.
• Specialized Cushing pattern for professional neurosurgical instrument sets.
• Corrosion-resistant surgical-grade German AISI 420 stainless steel construction.
• Autoclavable and reusable (Steam autoclave up to 134°C / 273°F).
