Cushing Lami. Rongeur down 3x10mm 15cm 45

Clinical Application

This down‑biting rongeur is intended for controlled removal of bone and tough soft tissue during laminectomy, spinal decompression, and other neurosurgical or orthopedic procedures that require working in narrow posterior spinal corridors. The moderate 3x10 mm biting tip allows precise nibbling of lamina, ligamentum flavum, and bone spurs while minimizing collateral tissue disruption. The 45° angulation and 15 cm length facilitate access to deep or obliquely oriented interlaminar spaces without excessive hand or wrist adjustment.

Design & Configuration

The down‑biting jaw orientation is optimized for removing tissue from superior-to-inferior planes encountered in posterior spinal approaches; it delivers a controlled cutting vector toward the surgeon rather than away, improving visibility of the worksite. The 45° offset provides an approach angle useful for reaching beneath overhanging bone or around anatomical curves. The instrument’s shaft length (15 cm) balances reach and tactile feedback for use in both open and limited exposure procedures. Ring handles provide familiar manual control and fine bite modulation.
