Cushing Lami-Rong 45

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled nibbling and removal of small segments of bone and adherent soft tissue in confined operative corridors. The 45° angulation of the biting tip facilitates access to the lamina, lateral recess and neural foramen during laminectomy, discectomy, foraminotomy and other spinal or cranial decompression procedures where an oblique approach improves visualization and reach. Useful to neurosurgeons, orthopedic spine surgeons and ENT surgeons for precision bone work in limited exposures.

Design & Configuration

The obliquely angled (45°) neck and jaw geometry allow the biting surface to engage bone at an angle that reduces the need for extensive soft-tissue retraction and improves line-of-sight in deep or narrow operative sites. A cup-shaped biting jaw concentrates force at the cutting edge to produce consistent, small bone chips rather than large fragments, helping preserve adjacent neural elements. The instrument’s compact head profile and slim shaft are intended to pass through limited windows while maintaining tactile feedback for controlled, single-handed bites.
