Cloward Laminia Spreader cam/rat. 110mm, 17cm

Clinical Application

This lamina spreader is intended to provide and maintain controlled separation of adjacent laminae and posterior elements during spinal procedures. It facilitates exposure for laminectomy, laminotomy, decompression, and instrumented fusion by creating a stable working corridor while freeing assistants from continuous manual retraction. The device is suitable for use in cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine cases where localized laminar distraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The cam/ratchet mechanism provides incremental, positive locking of the spreader to maintain a chosen degree of distraction without slippage. This configuration allows the surgeon to make fine adjustments to spread and then secure the position for bony work or visualization. The instrument length specifications (110 mm; 17 cm) reflect working reach and overall size options suitable for small-to-moderate exposures; the compact profile aids access in confined operative corridors and reduces interference with other instruments.

Instrument Specifications
