The Foraminotomy Rongeur, 8″ (200mm) 6mm, Curved Up, 40° Up, Hinged Micro Handle, Stainless Steel is a high-quality orthopedic and neurosurgical instrument engineered to facilitate precise bone and tissue removal during spinal decompression procedures. Specifically designed for foraminotomy, laminectomy, and laminotomy surgeries, this instrument combines exceptional cutting performance with ergonomic handling to meet the requirements of modern spinal surgery.

Featuring an overall length of 8 inches (200mm) and a 6mm bite size, this foraminotomy rongeur allows surgeons to remove bone efficiently while maintaining precise control. The 6mm jaw capacity provides an excellent balance between tissue removal capability and surgical accuracy, making the instrument suitable for both routine and advanced spine procedures.

A defining feature of this instrument is its 40° upward curved jaw configuration. The curved-up design improves access to deep and narrow anatomical regions, enabling surgeons to approach posterior spinal structures and neural foramina with greater ease. This geometry is particularly advantageous during decompression procedures where accurate bone removal is essential to relieve nerve compression while preserving surrounding tissues.

The instrument is equipped with a hinged micro handle, specifically designed to enhance comfort and improve tactile feedback. The ergonomic handle design helps minimize hand fatigue during prolonged procedures while providing smooth actuation and precise control. This enhanced handling capability contributes to greater surgical accuracy and procedural efficiency.

Constructed from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Foraminotomy Rongeur, 8″ (200mm) 6mm, Curved Up, 40° Up, Hinged Micro Handle, Stainless Steel offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear, and repeated sterilization. The robust construction ensures long-term reliability and maintains cutting performance even after extensive clinical use.

The satin-polished finish minimizes glare under operating room lighting and facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance. The instrument is fully autoclavable and compatible with standard sterilization protocols, making it a dependable and cost-effective solution for hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialty spine clinics.

Widely utilized by orthopedic surgeons, spine specialists, and neurosurgeons, this instrument is particularly effective for enlarging neural foramina, removing laminar bone, and treating conditions associated with spinal stenosis and nerve root compression. It is equally suitable for open procedures and minimally invasive spinal techniques.

The Foraminotomy Rongeur, 8″ (200mm) 6mm, Curved Up, 40° Up, Hinged Micro Handle, Stainless Steel combines precision engineering, ergonomic performance, and durable stainless steel construction, making it an indispensable instrument for contemporary spinal surgery.
