Lamina Spreaders

stainless steel, ball snap closure, bluntCervical Retractor Fenestrated Blade is an added component to be used alongside the cervical retractor for general purpose soft tissue retraction. Both blades are made from stainless steel and a ball snap closure making them a tight fit. Each blade also features a blunt edge to prevent trauma and tearing during retraction and the fenestrations increase the surface area over which the pressure is distributed. They are available in variety of sizes and curvatures making it possible to find a suitable blade for soft tissue retraction in a number of neurosurgical scenarios and approaches to the spinal cord.

This retractor has a long and slim design and features hinged arms from which 4x4 prongs extend. During laminectomy these prongs can be used to retract soft tissue and muscle layers form directly above the vertebral lamina and the ratcheting mechanism can hold the soft tissue out of way.

The ribbed handle giving additional gripping ability and the angled blade design makes it easy to manipulate in the surgical field while keeping the handle out of the plane of surgery. Additionally this retractor is available in four different sizes 13.0 mm (no lip), 18.0 mm, 20.0 mm and 25.0 mm.

hinged arms, 4x5 blunt prongs, 1-1/8" (2.80 cm), 12-1/8" (31.0 cm)Adson Laminectomy Retractor is ideally suited for use in retraction of muscle and soft tissue layers during laminectomy procedures. This procedure removes the lamina, a portion of the vertebrae, and it is necessary to have full access to the vertebrae in question. This retractor features ring handles for ease in handling as well as hinged arms and blunt prongs that provide a gentle but secure hold on the tissue.
