Clinical Application
Designed for controlled distraction and retraction of the lamina and adjacent posterior elements during spinal decompression procedures. Commonly used to maintain exposure during laminectomy, laminotomy, facet work and nerve-root decompression in posterior cervical and lumbar approaches. The screw-driven mechanism permits fine incremental opening and stable, hands‑free retention while surgeons perform bone removal, hemostasis or implant placement.
Design & Configuration
The screw-actuated design provides predictable, incremental spreading and positive self-retention to preserve the surgical corridor without continuous manual force. A 15 cm overall length gives appropriate reach in standard posterior spinal exposures, while the 90 mm maximum spread capacity accommodates a wide range of laminar separations. The compact footprint of the blades minimizes obstruction in the field and helps maintain visibility for microscopes or loupes.
