Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled, focused retraction of neural structures during open and minimally invasive spinal procedures. The instrument is intended for atraumatic elevation and protection of nerve roots and dural margins during microdiscectomy, lumbar and cervical decompression, foraminal exposure, and other spinal decompression workflows where precise neural retraction is required.
Design & Configuration
The slender, single-blade geometry delivers a narrow 6 mm contact profile to minimize soft-tissue footprint while providing a stable platform for limited-space retraction in the neural foramen and disc space. The 24 cm overall length gives adequate reach for deeper exposures through small incisions without sacrificing tactile control. A blunt, atraumatic blade edge and low-profile cross-section reduce risk of nerve compression while allowing the surgeon to adjust angle and pressure precisely.
