Scoville Nerve Root Retractor str 8mm, 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled, localized retraction of nerve roots and adjacent neural structures during spinal procedures. The instrument is commonly used in lumbar microdiscectomy, foraminotomy, lateral recess decompression and similar procedures where precise protection and gentle displacement of a nerve root or dural sac are required. Its narrow profile helps maintain a focused retraction field while minimizing exposure of surrounding soft tissue.

Design & Configuration

The straight 23 cm shaft provides reach into deep or narrow operative corridors while maintaining tactile control for the primary surgeon or assistant. The 8 mm blade width concentrates the retraction surface to a small area, enabling precise positioning around a nerve root without excessive displacement of adjacent structures. A slim, low-profile geometry supports use under the operative microscope or loupe magnification and facilitates instrument handling in confined spinal exposures.
