Clinical Application
Provides controlled separation of laminar margins and posterior spinal elements to improve visualization and access during spine procedures. The instrument is intended for use in cervical and thoracic spine exposures where gradual, maintained distraction is required to facilitate decompression, laminotomy/laminectomy, or placement of instruments and grafts associated with techniques referencing the Cloward approach.
Design & Configuration
The screw-driven adjustment enables precise, incremental opening and stable, self-retaining distraction without continuous manual force from an assistant. The 15 cm overall length gives adequate reach into deep surgical corridors while the 70 mm specification indicates the working span provided by the device for laminar separation. This configuration helps surgeons control distraction force and maintain exposure during delicate bone work.
