Caspar Lami. Rongeur up 3x12mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

This up‑biting rongeur is intended for controlled removal and sculpting of cortical and cancellous bone and for excision of small soft‑tissue fragments in spinal and orthopedic procedures. The 3 x 12 mm bite provides a small, precise cutting surface suitable for laminectomy/laminotomy work, discectomy, and other procedures that require incremental bone nibbling in confined spaces.

Design & Configuration

The up‑biting jaw geometry permits an approach from beneath or at an upward angle relative to the shaft, enabling access to undercut areas of the lamina and posterior elements while minimizing retraction of neural elements. The modest bite size allows the surgeon to remove tissue in controlled increments, reducing the risk of inadvertent over‑resection. The 16 cm overall length balances reach into the surgical field with tactile control for precise manual bites.
