Clinical Application
Designed for controlled excision of small bone segments and fibrous soft tissue during posterior spinal decompression procedures. The instrument's 4 x 14 mm biting jaw provides a measured bite size useful for removal of laminar bone, ligamentum flavum, and small osteophytes during laminectomy, laminotomy, foraminotomy, and limited discectomy. The straight configuration facilitates direct access to midline and lateral posterior elements through standard open or minimally invasive posterior approaches.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft and 18.5 cm overall length provide reach to deeper spinal levels while maintaining tactile feedback and control at the jaw tip. A 4 x 14 mm jaw strikes a balance between a small, precise bite and the ability to remove meaningful bone fragments without repeated repositioning. The Caspar pattern is a familiar configuration to spine surgeons, offering predictable geometry for efficient intraoperative bone removal in constrained operative corridors.
