Caspar Laminectomy Rongeur str 3x12mm, 18.5cm

Clinical Application

Used for controlled removal of laminar bone, facet bone and osteophytes during posterior spinal decompression procedures such as laminectomy and laminotomy. The moderate 3 x 12 mm bite size permits precise excision of small-to-moderate bone fragments while minimizing collateral soft-tissue disruption, making it suitable for use through retractors and in confined operative corridors.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry establishes a direct midline trajectory for predictable, tactile bites on dorsal spinal elements. At 18.5 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach into the surgical field with responsive hand control at the jaws. The 3 x 12 mm jaw profile provides a controlled, moderately sized bite that reduces the need for repetitive passes and aids efficient removal of bone during decompression.
