Yasargil Laminectomy Rongeur, Shaft

Description

Yasargil Laminectomy Rongeur, Shaft

The Yasargil laminectomy rongeur removes lamina and ligament during spinal decompression. Its long shaft lets the surgeon work deep in the wound while the hand stays out of the microscope view.

Designed for depth

This rongeur measures 25 cm overall, with a 185 mm shaft. Therefore, it reaches deep lumbar levels and narrow approaches. The long shaft also helps under magnification, because the handle sits well away from the field.

What surgeons use it for

During laminectomy, surgeons take away bone and ligament to relieve pressure on the nerves. The Yasargil laminectomy rongeur bites away that tissue in steady steps. It often follows larger rongeurs once the opening narrows.

Where it fits

A spinal decompression tray holds several rongeurs, including Kerrison punches. This Yasargil pattern adds reach. For instance, it helps when a Kerrison cannot reach the far edge of the opening.

Before you order

We list one size, so the main question is bite. We do not publish a bite size for this item. Therefore, contact us if you need it, and we will confirm before you buy.

Caring for your Yasargil rongeur

Flush bone fragments from the jaws right after use. Then brush along the shaft, where debris can collect. Rinse, dry completely and sterilize the rongeur with its jaws open a little.
