Clinical Application
Designed for precise removal of posterior bony elements in spinal and neurosurgical procedures, this instrument is used to nibble and excise lamina, small cortical bone spurs, and bone fragments during decompression, foraminotomy, and limited laminectomy procedures. The angled tip facilitates work in confined posterior corridors and around dural and neural structures where direct inline approaches are restricted.
Design & Configuration
The 45° angulation of the working tip provides an off-axis approach that improves access to the lamina and medial facet without excessive soft-tissue retraction or awkward wrist positioning. A compact cutting jaw permits controlled bites in tight spaces, helping surgeons remove bone incrementally while maintaining visibility of the surgical plane. The instrument's hand geometry is configured for tactile feedback and precise control during sequential bone removal.
Instrument Specifications
- Model: Cushing Lami-Rong 45 (45° angled lamina rongeur)
- Intended use: Lamina and cortical bone nibbling and extraction in spinal/neurosurgery
- Working tip: Angled cutting/cup-style bite optimized for controlled bone removal
