Cushing Laminectomy Rongeur ang.up 4mm, 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in spine and neurosurgical procedures, this rongeur is intended to remove small segments of lamina, cortical bone and soft tissue during laminectomy and decompression procedures. The up-angled jaw permits access beneath the lamina and around neural elements in confined posterior spinal corridors, allowing controlled, incremental bites while minimizing retraction of adjacent tissues. Common users include neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons performing decompression, foraminotomy, and focal bone removal.

Design & Configuration

The up-angled working tip changes the approach vector relative to a straight instrument, improving line-of-sight and access when working from a posterior trajectory or beneath overhanging anatomy. A 4 mm bite provides a conservative, controlled cutting surface for precise nibbling of bone and fibrous tissue, reducing the risk of aggressive resection in tight spaces. The 13 cm overall length balances reach into the surgical field with tactile control at the handles, facilitating fine incremental removal rather than large, uncontrolled bites.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern: Cushing laminectomy rongeur, up-angled
• Bite / jaw opening: 4 mm
• Overall length: 13 cm
• Intended use: bone and soft-tissue excision during posterior spine procedures
• Reusable surgical instrument

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical‑grade stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance and durability for repeated sterilization cycles. The work surfaces are machined to maintain sharp, reproducible cutting edges appropriate for bone and fibrous tissue removal. Designed for reusable use and compatible with standard sterilization practices.
