Inge Lamina Spreader (27.5 cm) – Orthopedic Surgical Instrument

The Inge Lamina Spreader (27.5 cm) – Orthopedic Surgical Instrument is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled spreading and retraction during selected spinal and orthopedic procedures. Its extended 27.5 cm length provides a practical working reach for surgical applications where access to deeper anatomical structures is required.

A lamina spreader is designed to provide controlled separation between selected anatomical structures during spinal surgery. By maintaining a defined working space, the instrument can assist the surgical team with visualization and access to the operative area. The exact application depends on the surgical approach, anatomy, procedure, and the design of the individual instrument.

The Inge pattern is associated with specialized spinal instrumentation and may be used in procedures requiring controlled laminar or tissue retraction. The instrument should be selected according to the specific surgical technique and anatomical requirements rather than being considered universally suitable for every spinal procedure.

With an overall length of 27.5 cm, this lamina spreader provides an extended profile that can be useful when additional working reach is required. The exact blade or working-end dimensions, spreading capacity, and mechanism should be confirmed from the product specifications before ordering, as these characteristics can vary between instrument configurations.

The instrument is intended for professional orthopedic and spinal surgical environments. It may be incorporated into spine surgery instrument trays used in hospitals, orthopedic departments, surgical centers, and specialized spinal practices.

Proper handling is important for a spreading instrument because controlled mechanical force is applied during use. The instrument should be used according to the applicable surgical technique and should not be subjected to force beyond its intended design. Working ends should be inspected for deformation, wear, cracks, or other damage before each procedure.

Stainless steel construction, where applicable, provides a durable material for reusable surgical instrumentation. Proper cleaning and maintenance can help preserve the instrument’s surface finish and mechanical function. The spreader’s moving components, working ends, and contact surfaces should be inspected regularly.

If supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, the Inge Lamina Spreader should be cleaned, disinfected, inspected, and sterilized according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s infection-control protocols. Particular attention should be given to joints, moving mechanisms, recessed surfaces, and areas where biological material may accumulate.

The product name identifies the instrument as an Inge Lamina Spreader. This designation describes the instrument pattern and should not be interpreted as manufacturer affiliation unless specifically documented. Compatibility with a particular surgical system should be verified when applicable.

Overall, the Inge Lamina Spreader 27.5 cm provides a specialized solution for controlled retraction and spreading during selected orthopedic and spinal surgical procedures. Its extended length makes it suitable for applications where a longer working reach is required.
