Caspar Lami. Rongeur down 4x14mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

This down-biting Caspar Lami rongeur is intended for precise removal and shaping of cortical and cancellous bone and for small soft-tissue excision in constrained spinal and cranial exposures. Its bite geometry is suited for laminotomy, foraminotomy, guttering of lamina, sculpting bone grafts, and controlled trimming of bone edges during neurosurgical and orthopedic procedures where a downward-directed cutting action improves access and visualization.

Design & Configuration

The downward (down-biting) jaw orientation directs the bite toward the operating field from above, allowing the surgeon to remove bone while maintaining a more ergonomic wrist position in narrow corridors. The 4 x 14 mm jaw dimension provides a moderate, focused bite that balances tissue removal per stroke with tactile feedback, enabling controlled incremental bone resection. A 16 cm overall length offers adequate reach for standard posterior spinal exposures and deeper cranial approaches while preserving instrument control at the handles.
