Clinical Application
Provides stable, hands‑free retraction for open lumbar spine procedures. The retractor is used to maintain soft-tissue and bony exposure of the lumbar vertebral column during discectomy, laminectomy, spinal decompression and fusion workflows where a consistent 75 mm span is appropriate. By holding paraspinal musculature and soft tissues away from the surgical field, it facilitates visualization, microsurgical work, implant placement and intraoperative imaging.
Design & Configuration
The self‑retaining, adjustable blade configuration delivers continuous tension without the need for an assistant to hold retractors. A 75 mm span provides a practical working aperture for many lumbar levels while limiting pressure on surrounding tissues when positioned correctly. The adjustable locking mechanism maintains depth and width of exposure, allowing fine control of retraction during progressive dissection and instrumentation. Low‑profile blade geometry reduces obstruction of the operative corridor and improves access for instrumentation and suctioning.
