MIS Tubular Retractor – Titanium 16mm x 9cm

The MIS Tubular Retractor Titanium, 16 mm x 9 cm is a specialized surgical instrument used in minimally invasive spine surgery. It is designed to provide a focused working channel to the operative site while helping reduce unnecessary muscle and soft-tissue disruption compared with traditional open exposure.

This tubular retractor features a 16 mm diameter and 9 cm / 90 mm working length, making it suitable for procedures that require a narrow working channel with moderate-depth access. Its smooth tubular profile supports controlled placement after sequential dilation and helps maintain consistent exposure throughout the procedure.

Made from titanium, the retractor offers lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant construction suitable for repeated professional use. The standard non-beveled design provides a uniform distal end for straightforward tubular access and stable positioning during minimally invasive spinal procedures.

The retractor may be used as part of a complete minimally invasive spine retractor system with sequential dilators, a flexible arm, and table clamp fixation, depending on the surgical setup. It is suitable for hospitals, spine surgery centers, neurosurgery departments, orthopedic operating rooms, and advanced surgical facilities.

This instrument is intended for use by trained spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and qualified operating-room professionals.
