Mini-Open Retractor System
More than an instrument
The Aesculap Mini-Open Retractor System is designed to provide patients all the benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) while at the same time reduce the surgeons´ learning curve and radiation exposure as compared to percutaneous surgery. When partnered with S4® Spinal System and TSPACE® interbody fusion device, the Aesculap Mini-Open Retractor System is especially suited to provide patients the benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery.
Clinical Benefits
- Expandable and adjustable blades for a conical field of up to 60°
- Modular design for individual adaption to the patient anatomical structures
- Enhanced exposure through small incision allows for improved implant placement
- Novel compression and distraction instrumentation works directly through the retractor without an additional incision
- Direct visualization to the spine greatly reduces radiation exposure
- Reduced learning curve due to direct visualization of the anatomical landmarks without fluoroscopic guidance
Features
- Cranial-caudal blades in different diameters and lengths
- Medial-lateral blades in different shapes and lengths
- MIS instruments for compression and distraction maneuvers
- Table stabilization module
- Lighting module for additional surgical visibility
Indication
- The Mini-Open Retractor System is indicated for use in the lumbar spine:
- Facetectomy
- Decompression
- Discectomy
- Lumbar Fusion
- TLIF
