Caspar Lami. Rongeur down 4x14mm, 14cm

Clinical Application

This down‑angled Caspar laminectomy rongeur is designed for controlled removal of posterior bony elements and small bone or disc fragments during spinal decompression procedures such as laminectomy and laminotomy. The 4x14mm bite size permits incremental, precise excision of lamina, osteophytes, and small sequestrated disc material in confined posterior exposures. It is commonly used by neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons for focal bone trimming and decompression of neural elements.

Design & Configuration

The down‑angled jaw geometry positions the biting edge parallel to the posterior bony surface, improving access under overhanging lamina and into narrow surgical corridors without the need for excessive soft‑tissue retraction. A 14 cm overall length gives moderate reach suitable for standard open spinal exposures and limited posterior approaches while maintaining tactile feedback for controlled bites. The 4x14mm jaw dimension reflects a relatively small, elongate bite that allows precise, layered removal rather than large, disruptive resections—helpful for preserving surrounding structures.
