Smith Peterson Lami. Rongeur st.cvd 3mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

Used for precise removal of small laminar and cortical bone fragments during laminectomy and spinal decompression procedures. The 3 mm biting tip enables incremental nibbling in confined operative corridors, making it suitable for cervical, thoracic and lumbar approaches where controlled bone resection around neural structures is required. Common applications include lamina trimming, osteophyte removal and preparation of bone margins for instrumentation.

Design & Configuration

The Smith-Peterson working profile provides a slim, directed tip for access to narrow spaces. The straight/curved option (st.cvd) allows choice of geometry to match the surgical approach—straight for direct line access and curved for angled or oblique trajectories around neural elements. At 24 cm overall length the instrument delivers extended reach into deep operative fields while preserving tactile feedback for controlled bites; a 3 mm jaw size supports conservative, measured bone removal to minimize collateral tissue disruption.
