Clinical Application
Designed for posterior spinal procedures, this spreader is used to distract and maintain separation of laminar edges and soft tissues during laminectomy and other decompression or exposure steps. The compact 10 x 20 mm jaw footprint allows focused retraction in narrow interlaminar corridors while the 24 cm overall length provides reach into midline and paramedian exposures without obscuring the surgical field. The instrument helps improve visualization of neural elements and working space for bone removal, discectomy maneuvers, and implant placement.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features paired opposing jaws sized to provide focal tissue spreading with minimal bulk at the tip—useful when working between facet joints or beneath muscle flaps. The 24 cm shaft length balances ergonomic handling and intraoperative reach, allowing the assistant or surgeon to position and maintain exposure from outside the immediate operative site. A low-profile jaw geometry reduces soft-tissue impingement and facilitates controlled distraction during fine decompression work.
