Caspar Lami. Rongeur down 4x14mm, 18.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled removal of bone and associated soft tissue in spinal and neurosurgical procedures, this down-biting rongeur is used during laminectomy, laminotomy, foraminotomy, and other decompression procedures. The 4 x 14 mm bite provides a moderate-volume cut useful for nibbling cortical and cancellous bone in confined operative corridors, allowing precise undercutting of the lamina and removal of osteophytes or disc fragments while minimizing collateral tissue disruption.

Design & Configuration

The down-facing (down-biting) jaw geometry facilitates work beneath the lamina and within narrow epidural or foraminal spaces by directing the cutting face toward the surgeon when approaching from above. At 18.5 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach with tactile control for working in posterior spinal exposures. The 4 x 14 mm bite dimension is sized for incremental bone removal—large enough to remove appreciable material yet small enough to enable precise controlled bites in delicate neural environs.
