Caspar Lami-Rongeur downward 150

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for precise removal of lamina and small bone fragments during posterior spinal procedures. Its beak-style downward jaw provides controlled bites for laminectomy, partial facetectomy, decompression of neural elements, and removal of osteophytes or sequestra in constrained operative corridors. It is used by spine surgeons and neurosurgeons when bone needs to be nibbled or sculpted in confined spaces where straight or upward-facing rongueurs are less effective.

Design & Configuration

The downward orientation of the jaw allows the surgeon to approach bone from above and remove tissue toward the line of sight and the operating team, improving visualization and control when working in the posterior spinal canal. The 150 mm overall length provides reach into deeper operative fields without excessive handle protrusion, helping maintain working distance and instrument control in lumbar and thoracic exposures. The short, beak-style tip delivers a focused bite for controlled bone removal while minimizing collateral soft-tissue engagement.
