Instrument for nucleotomy suitable, for example, for the removal of nuclear material from an intervertebral disc. Normally a "rongeur" is used to remove an entire disc, but more often it is necessary to use a rongeur repeatedly to eliminate a few fragments at a time, with the frequent removal of the rongeur from the nuclear site in order to empty its cup jaws. This results in a loss of time, with...
