Clinical Application
This lamina spreader is intended to provide controlled separation of the laminae during spinal procedures such as laminotomy, laminectomy, posterior decompression, and limited facet exposure. The screw lock permits incremental distraction and stable maintenance of the desired gap, enabling the surgeon to work hands-free while protecting adjacent soft tissues and neural elements.
Design & Configuration
Paired opposing blades engage the laminar edges and transfer distraction forces evenly across the bony surfaces. The integrated screw-lock mechanism allows precise, gradual opening and secure fixation of the spreader position without reliance on a ratchet, reducing inadvertent loss of distraction. A low-profile shaft and blade geometry facilitate use in narrow posterior corridors and help preserve visualization at the operative site.
