Caspar Lami-Rongeur downward 150

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled removal of small bone fragments and dense soft tissue in posterior spinal procedures. The downward-oriented biting tip facilitates access to inferior aspects of the lamina, foraminal margins, and other confined regions encountered during laminectomy and decompression procedures. Surgeons use this style of rongeur to sculpt bone, create relief around nerve roots, and remove osteophytes in a precise, incremental fashion.

Design & Configuration

The downward-curved jaw geometry orients the cutting surface away from the handle, improving visualization and access when working beneath overhanging bone or in tight posterior corridors. At 150 mm overall length, the instrument balances reach with tactile control, enabling precise bites without excessive shaft length that can reduce stability. The cutting tip geometry is intended to deliver focused biting force for efficient nibbling of cortical bone and fibrous tissue in constrained operative fields.
