Caspar Lami. Rongeur up 5x14mm, 18.5cm

Clinical Application

This up‑biting rongeur is configured for controlled bone removal in posterior spinal procedures such as laminectomy, laminotomy and other decompression techniques. The upward‑oriented bite is useful for undercutting lamina, removing small cortical and cancellous bone fragments, and working in tight posterior corridors where approach from below the bone surface is required. It is also applicable for targeted bone nibbling in select neurosurgical and orthopedic procedures where precise, incremental bone resection is needed.

Design & Configuration

The up‑biting jaw geometry directs the cutting action toward the shaft, enabling sublaminar and undercut approaches without requiring excessive instrument rotation. A 5 x 14 mm bite provides a moderate cutting window that balances tissue removal per bite with tactile feedback and control. The 18.5 cm overall length offers reach into standard posterior spinal exposures while maintaining a working profile suitable for crowded operative fields. A box‑lock hinge preserves jaw alignment and delivers the mechanical strength required for repeated bone nibbling.
