Clinical Application
Designed for controlled biting and removal of bone and ligament in open spinal procedures, this rongeur is used during laminectomy, laminotomy and other decompression procedures to remove portions of the lamina, hypertrophic bone, and ligamentum flavum. Its geometry supports precision bone resection in confined posterior spinal corridors common to lumbar and thoracic exposures.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's Oldberg pattern provides a robust, cupped biting tip optimized for taking controlled bites of cortical and cancellous bone. A 25 cm overall length increases reach for deeper posterior exposures while helping maintain the surgeon's line of sight and access with minimal soft-tissue retraction. Ring handles deliver tactile feedback and precise manual control of bite depth and release.
