Smith Peterson Lami. Rongeur sl.cvd 3mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise removal of lamina and small cortical bone fragments during spinal procedures, this rongeur is used in laminectomy, laminotomy and other decompression operations. The 3 mm biting tip enables controlled nibbling of bone close to neural structures, allowing surgeons to create or enlarge the spinal canal while minimizing disruption to surrounding soft tissue.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft geometry improves-line-of-sight and approach to posterior spinal elements, permitting access around the curvature of the lamina and facets without excessive tissue retraction. The relatively small 3 mm bite provides tactile feedback and fine control for incremental bone removal; the 24 cm overall length offers reach into deeper operative fields common in adult spine surgery. These features together support deliberate, controlled cutting in confined spaces.
