11-1235-24 | Smith-Peterson Laminectomy
Rongeur
The straight approach has an important place in spinal bone removal. The 11-1235-24
Smith-Peterson Laminectomy Rongeur is designed around that principle, combining a 24 cm
length with straight 3 x 16 mm jaws and a double-action mechanism. Its extended format gives
the surgeon access to deep operative areas, while the straight working path supports direct
positioning of the jaws against the bone. It is a specialized addition to
Unlike a curved laminectomy rongeur, this configuration keeps the working end aligned with the
shaft. That can make the instrument easier to position when the operative approach is relatively
direct. The 3 x 16 mm jaw profile provides a focused biting area for controlled bone removal.
● 24 cm overall length: Gives the instrument the reach needed for deeper spinal
operative sites.
● Straight configuration: Maintains a direct line between the handle and working end for
straightforward jaw placement.
● 3 x 16 mm jaws: Provide a defined contact area for removing bone in controlled bites.
● Double-action mechanism: Reduces the force needed at the handles during repeated
use.
● Surgical-grade stainless steel: Listed by the manufacturer as the construction
material.
This Smith-Peterson pattern is appropriate for laminectomy, foraminotomy, and related
decompression procedures where deep access and direct jaw placement matter. The extended
length is particularly useful when a shorter rongeur would require the operator to work too close
to the operative site.
Keep the 11-1235-24 available for spinal procedures requiring extended straight access.
