Cloward Laminia Spreader w/screw 50mm, 15cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to provide controlled distraction of the laminae, spinous processes and adjacent soft tissues during posterior spinal procedures. It is commonly used to maintain a reproducible opening for laminectomy, laminotomy and other decompression procedures, enabling continuous exposure of the operative field while minimizing the need for manual retraction.

Design & Configuration

The Cloward-style geometry pairs contoured blade tips with a threaded screw mechanism so the jaws can be incrementally opened and securely held in position. The screw lock enables fine adjustments and stable maintenance of the spread without relying on an assistant, reducing fatigue and improving exposure consistency. The overall shaft length provides reach into typical posterior spinal corridors while the blade profile distributes retraction force across the lamina margins to reduce tissue focal stress.
