Martin Nerve Root Retractor angled 21cm

Clinical Application

This angled nerve root retractor is designed to provide atraumatic protection and controlled retraction of spinal nerve roots and dural elements during decompression procedures. Common applications include lumbar and cervical discectomy, laminectomy, foraminotomy, and other posterior spinal exposures where separation of neural tissue from disc, bone, or ligamentous structures is required. The instrument facilitates safe working corridors for targeted removal of compressive pathology while minimizing direct traction on neural tissue.

Design & Configuration

The angled geometry positions the working blade beneath or lateral to the nerve root, allowing the surgeon to retract neural elements away from the operative field while preserving sight lines to the disc and facet. The 21 cm overall length provides reach into deeper exposures without excessive handle crowding at the skin level. An angled profile is particularly useful in confined corridors and when working around the pedicle or facet complex, permitting controlled, low-profile retraction that reduces the need for repeated instrument exchanges.

Instrument Specifications

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with precision machining and a corrosion-resistant finish suitable for repeated clinical use. Construction emphasizes a slim, rigid blade profile to provide reliable retraction while minimizing bulk in the wound. The instrument is designed for standard hospital reprocessing and sterilization protocols and for durability across multiple cycles of use.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
