Caspar Laminectomy Rongeur str 3x12mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled biting and removal of small bone fragments and soft tissue in posterior spinal procedures. Commonly used during laminectomy, hemilaminectomy, discectomy, and spinal decompression to excise laminar edges, ligamentum flavum, and osteophytes in confined operative corridors. The 3 x 12 mm bite provides a balance between precision and efficiency for incremental bone removal in cervical, thoracic, and lumbar exposures.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry gives a direct line of action from the user’s hand to the bite surface, facilitating perpendicular access to the lamina and posterior elements in open posterior approaches. At 16 cm overall length, the instrument affords reach into typical dorsal spinal corridors while maintaining tactile control. The relatively small 3 x 12 mm jaw is sized for precise, incremental resections, reducing the risk of over-resection in narrow spaces.
