Spine Lateral Bayonet Anulus Cutting Knife for Neurosurgery Procedures

Spine Lateral Bayonet Anulus Cutting Knife for Neurosurgery

The Spine Lateral Bayonet Anulus Cutting Knife is a specialized neurosurgical instrument designed for precise incision of the annulus fibrosus during spine procedures. Its bayonet-shaped shaft allows the surgeon's hand to remain outside the visual field, improving visibility in the deep, narrow corridors of the spine. The lateral orientation supports controlled cutting in minimally invasive and open approaches. Commonly used in discectomy, decompression, and fusion procedures, this knife helps reduce trauma to surrounding neural structures. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, it is compatible with standard sterilization workflows in hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics across the United States.

• Incision of the annulus fibrosus during lumbar or cervical discectomy
• Minimally invasive spine surgery where instrument shaft must stay clear of the visual field
• Decompression procedures requiring precise cutting near neural elements
• Spinal fusion access when controlled annular release is needed
• Neurosurgical training and cadaver labs for annulus cutting technique

Specifications

• Clean thoroughly after each use to remove biological debris before sterilization.
• Autoclave according to your facility's standard cycle for stainless steel instruments.
• Inspect cutting edge regularly for nicks or dullness; replace when performance degrades.
• Store in a protected tray or case to prevent damage to the blade.
