Caspar Laminectomy Rongeur str 4mm, 15.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for spinal decompression procedures, this straight Caspar laminectomy rongeur is used to remove laminar bone, small osteophytes, and other bony or fibrous material encountered during laminectomy and posterior decompression. The 4 mm bite size enables controlled, incremental bone removal in close proximity to the thecal sac and nerve roots, supporting precise tissue management during cervical, thoracic, and lumbar exposures.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft provides a direct line of approach to the lamina and posterior elements, allowing the instrument to be advanced and manipulated along the surgical axis with minimal deflection. A 15.5 cm overall length balances working reach and tactile control for midline and paramedian exposures. The relatively small 4 mm cutting bite supports precise nibbling and reduces the risk of aggressive bone removal, which is important when working adjacent to neural structures.
