Clinical Application
This instrument is intended for controlled retraction and protection of exposed nerve roots and adjacent soft tissue during spinal procedures. Its narrow 7 mm curved blade provides targeted retraction in confined anatomy commonly encountered in lumbar microdiscectomy, open or microscopic decompression, and foraminal work, allowing the surgeon to maintain visualization while minimizing the instrument footprint on neural structures.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry places the blade in line with the natural contour of nerve roots and foraminal corridors, enabling gentle lateral or medial retraction without excessive rotation of the shaft. The 24 cm overall length furnishes adequate reach to deep operative fields through limited exposures, while the narrow 7 mm blade limits soft-tissue displacement to preserve visualization and reduce collateral pressure on neural elements.
