10.0 mm tip, 10-1/2" (26.5 cm)Aufranc Cobra Retractor is a uniquely designed instrument for use in retraction and elevation of spinal roots. This retractor can be used in many different neurosurgical procedures but is especially useful in spinal surgeries. It features a cobra shaped head which gives it a contour well suited for maneuvering in the vicinity of nerve roots and keeping them protected. Additionally this retractor is available in four different tips making it well suited for any procedure: serrated pointed tip, smooth pointed tip, serrated blunt tip, smooth blunt tip.

hinged arms, 4x4 sharp prongs, 17.0 mm deep, 12-1/8" (31.0 cm)Beckman Laminectomy Retractor is made for use in neurosurgical procedures of the spinal cord. Specifically this retractor can be used in laminectomy procedures in which the lamina of the vertebrate is removed. This retractor can be used to push aside the muscle and soft tissue layers that lie directly above the spinal cord. The ring handles and ratcheting mechanism make it easy to operate manually and to lock into the appropriate width. Additionally this retractor has sharp prongs and hinged arms to keep a firm grip on the tissue it is retracting.

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.

ball snap closure, w/ teeth Carbon Fiber Radiolucent Lateral Blade is an added component to be used alongside the cervical retractor for general purpose soft tissue retraction. All six blades are made from stainless steel and a ball snap closure making them a tight fit. Each blade also features teeth giving them added hold in retraction. They are available in variety of sizes making it possible to find a suitable blade for soft tissue retraction in a number of neurosurgical scenarios and approaches to the spinal cord. Additionally this instrument is radiolucent which allows it to be left in place during x-ray and can be seen through.
