Product Overview
Nerve Root Retractor 9 1/2" 3.2mm enables neurosurgeons to navigate confined interlaminar windows and shield critical neural elements safely during lumbar discectomy procedures. Featuring an elongated 9 1/2" shank, a 3.2mm polished blunt tip, and an ergonomic handle, it maintains gentle atraumatic tension against exiting nerve roots without causing focal dural tearing or neuropraxia, securing clear visual access to herniated disc fragments and posterior longitudinal ligaments.
Key Features:
• German stainless steel material provides corrosion-free strength
• Elongated 9 1/2" shaft ensures deep paraspinal reach through narrow surgical corridors
• Polished 3.2mm blunt tip prevents dural tears and nerve root compression injury
• Ergonomic flat handle delivers steady tactile control and fatigue-free retraction
Uses & Applications:
• Retracting the thecal sac and traversing nerve root during lumbar microdiscectomy
• Protecting delicate spinal nerves during posterior lumbar interbody fusion procedures
• Exposing herniated disc fragments while shielding neural tissues during laminectomy interventions
