Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled separation of laminar edges and maintain a clear operating corridor during spinal decompression procedures. The narrow 12 mm tip offers a focused footprint for localized retraction of lamina and adjacent soft tissues, facilitating visualization for laminectomy, hemilaminectomy, microdiscectomy and targeted decompression without excessive lateral tissue excursion. The 27 cm length supports access to deeper lumbar and thoracic exposures while keeping the working ends clear of the sterile field.
Design & Configuration
The Inge pattern delivers a straightforward, manual spreading action that permits fine control of separation between opposing lamina. A narrow tip width concentrates the applied force over a small area to minimize collateral soft-tissue displacement while maintaining adequate exposure of the bony margins. The 27 cm overall length balances reach and instrument handling, allowing the operator to position the spreader deep in the wound while retaining comfortable hand clearance for microsurgical or instrumented work.
