Inge Laminectomy Spreader, 50mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled, sustained distraction of the lamina and posterior elements during posterior spinal procedures. Commonly used in laminotomy and laminectomy to maintain an open operative corridor for decompression, visualization of the neural elements, and instrument access for microdiscectomy or removal of bone and ligament. The self-retaining action stabilizes the exposure and reduces reliance on manual retraction, improving efficiency in the operating room.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's 24 cm overall length offers reach for deeper posterior exposures while remaining manageable on the sterile field. The paired laminar blades are configured to engage the bony edges without excessive bulk, and the 50 mm maximum spread creates a working window suitable for typical lumbar and thoracic posterior exposures. A self-retaining ratchet secures the chosen distraction, allowing the surgeon to work hands-free or to reduce the number of assistants required for a stable exposure.
