Caspar Lami. Rongeur up 4x14mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

This up-biting rongeur is designed to remove small to moderate fragments of bone and dense soft tissue encountered during spinal decompression and laminectomy procedures. The 4 x 14 mm bite provides controlled, repeatable tissue removal for creating windows in the lamina, shaping laminar edges, or removing bone spurs and osteophytes during discectomy and other spinal exposures. Its geometry facilitates working in confined posterior spinal corridors where precise, incremental bites are required.

Design & Configuration

The upward-oriented jaw (up-biting configuration) allows the working tip to engage bone from an inferior approach and withdraw material away from the neural elements, improving visualization and protection of dura and nerve roots. A 4 x 14 mm bite balances removal capacity with fine control, enabling surgeons to take measured bites in tight anatomic spaces. The 16 cm overall length provides reach into deeper exposures while maintaining good tactile feedback for precise bone nibbling.
