Thompson Lamina Spreader is a specialized surgical instrument used in orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures, particularly in spinal surgeries. The instrument is designed to gently and precisely spread the laminae, which are thin, flat parts of the vertebrae that form the back of the spinal canal. By using the Thompson Lamina Spreader, surgeons can create sufficient space within the spinal canal, allowing access to the nerves and the spinal cord for decompression and other surgical interventions. The instrument’s design typically features a slender, elongated body with two pronged ends that can be carefully inserted between the laminae and then spread apart to create the desired opening. The Thompson Lamina Spreader plays a crucial role in various spinal surgeries, contributing to improved surgical outcomes and the relief of pressure on the neural structures.
