Caspar Lami. Rongeur up 5x14mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled removal of bone and soft tissue during spinal procedures, this up-biting laminectomy rongeur is used in lumbar, thoracic and cervical decompression and laminectomy procedures. The up-oriented bite facilitates excision of laminar bone and ligamentum flavum in confined posterior spinal corridors and helps mobilize small bone fragments for evacuation.

Design & Configuration

The up-biting configuration positions the cutting edge to remove tissue toward the instrument shaft, which is clinically useful when working on the superior aspect of a lamina or when accessing tissue beneath bony overhangs. The 5 x 14 mm bite provides a moderate cutting surface for controlled, repeatable bites without excessive tissue grab, and the 16 cm overall length balances reach into deeper surgical exposures with tactile feedback for the operator.
