Cushing Lami-Rongeur str 2x10mm 18cm

Clinical Application

This straight Cushing laminectomy rongeur is designed for controlled removal of small bone fragments and adjacent soft tissue during spinal decompression procedures. It is commonly used in laminectomy, laminotomy, decompression around the lamina and facet margins, and in other neurosurgical and orthopedic procedures where precise nibbling or removal of cortical bone is required. The instrument's measured bite size aids surgeons in removing targeted amounts of bone while minimizing manipulation of the dural sac and neural elements.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry provides an inline approach that helps maintain direct visualization of the cutting mouth when working along the posterior elements of the spine. An 18 cm overall length balances reach into deeper operative fields with tactile control at the jaw. The 2 x 10 mm bite gives a moderate, repeatable cutting volume for staged bone removal, allowing surgeons to incrementally decompress neural structures while capturing excised fragments within the jaw for removal from the wound.
