Caspar Laminectomy Rongeur str 2x12mm, 18.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for spinal decompression procedures, this rongeur is used to remove portions of lamina, osteophytes, small cortical bone fragments, and disc material in open laminectomy and other posterior spinal approaches. The straight beak and controlled bite size facilitate precise bone nibbling in confined surgical corridors, helping to create decompression windows and to shape bone during exposure and decompression.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry supports a midline approach and direct alignment with the surgical field, allowing the surgeon to apply perpendicular biting force to the lamina or bone edge. A 2 x 12 mm tip provides a small, controlled bite for incremental bone removal and tactile feedback, while the 18.5 cm overall length balances reach with intraoperative control in both cervical and lumbar exposures. The beak profile and cutting surfaces are intended to permit precise, repeatable bites with minimal collateral disruption.
