The Foraminotomy Rongeur, 8″ (200mm) 5mm, Curved Up, 40° Up, Hinged Micro Handle, Stainless Steel is a high-performance orthopedic and neurosurgical instrument engineered for precise bone resection and tissue removal during spinal decompression procedures. Designed to provide exceptional access and control in confined anatomical spaces, this instrument is widely used in foraminotomy, laminotomy, laminectomy, and other spinal surgeries requiring meticulous bone removal.

Featuring an overall length of 8 inches (200mm) and a 5mm bite size, this foraminotomy rongeur offers an ideal balance between cutting capacity and precision. The 5mm jaw allows efficient removal of laminar bone and hypertrophied ligament tissue while maintaining excellent control around delicate neural structures. This makes the instrument suitable for both open and minimally invasive spinal procedures.

A distinctive characteristic of the instrument is its 40° upward curved jaw configuration. The curved-up design enhances access to posterior spinal anatomy and improves visualization in deep surgical fields. By allowing surgeons to approach neural foramina and compressed nerve roots more effectively, the instrument contributes to safer and more efficient decompression procedures. The upward angle minimizes excessive manipulation and facilitates precise bone removal with reduced tissue trauma.

The instrument incorporates a hinged micro handle, specifically developed to optimize ergonomics and enhance tactile sensitivity. This handle design provides smooth actuation and balanced force distribution, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. Improved comfort and responsiveness enable surgeons to maintain precision throughout complex spinal surgeries.

Constructed from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Foraminotomy Rongeur, 8″ (200mm) 5mm, Curved Up, 40° Up, Hinged Micro Handle, Stainless Steel provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear, and repeated sterilization. The durable material ensures long-term reliability and maintains cutting performance over years of clinical use.

Its satin-polished finish minimizes glare from operating room lighting while facilitating cleaning and maintenance. Fully compatible with standard autoclave sterilization procedures, this reusable instrument represents a cost-effective solution for hospitals, surgical centers, and specialty spine practices.

Commonly utilized by orthopedic surgeons, spine specialists, and neurosurgeons, this instrument is particularly effective in procedures intended to relieve nerve root compression caused by spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and other spinal pathologies. It is frequently used for enlarging neural foramina, removing laminar bone, and performing posterior decompression procedures.

Combining precision engineering, ergonomic design, and premium stainless steel construction, the Foraminotomy Rongeur, 8″ (200mm) 5mm, Curved Up, 40° Up, Hinged Micro Handle, Stainless Steel is an indispensable addition to modern orthopedic and neurosurgical instrument sets.
