Smith Peterson Lami. Rongeur str 3mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled removal of small cortical bone fragments and laminar edges during laminectomy, laminotomy and posterior spinal decompression procedures. The small 3 mm biting jaw enables incremental removal of bone and osteophytes near neural structures, helping surgeons perform precise decompression while limiting collateral soft-tissue disruption.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft with a 24 cm overall length provides direct midline access to posterior spinal elements in standard open approaches. The small jaw profile and robust hinge geometry deliver focused bites and consistent mechanical advantage for reliable bone removal. Straight configuration offers a direct line of sight and control when working on the lamina or medial facet, and supports single-handed operation with tactile feedback important for delicate decompression work.
