Medtronic X0101003 METRx System 24mm x 6cm Tubular Retractor Orthopedic 2-3/4"

Medtronic X0101003 24mm x 6cm METRx Tubular Retractor

The Medtronic X0101003 is a high-precision tubular retractor engineered for the METRx Minimally Invasive System. With a 24 mm diameter and a 6 cm (60 mm) working length, this instrument provides the optimal balance between surgical exposure and muscle preservation. It is designed to slide seamlessly over sequential dilators, establishing a stable, bloodless surgical "well" that allows for the safe decompression of neural structures using high-speed drills and micro-rongeurs.

Constructed from medical-grade stainless steel with a specialized non-glare finish, the X0101003 is optimized for use under high-magnification operating microscopes. Its mid-range 6 cm depth makes it the most versatile tube in the METRx set, suitable for the majority of lumbar levels in the average patient population. The retractor hub is designed for a rock-solid connection to the METRx articulating arm, preventing any intraoperative shift or "migration" of the surgical corridor.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Medtronic Sofamor Danek

• Model Number: X0101003

• System Compatibility: METRx System (Tubular Retraction)

• Tube Diameter: 24 mm

• Tube Length: 6 cm (60 mm)

• Application: Lumbar Microdiscectomy, Laminectomy, and Foraminotomy

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Optimized Working Volume: The 24 mm aperture allows for simultaneous instrument passage (e.g., suction and nerve root retractor) without obstructing the surgeon's view.

• Muscle-Sparing Dilation: Replaces the extensive subperiosteal muscle stripping of open surgery with gentle fiber splitting, leading to reduced post-op pain and faster mobilization.

• Microscope-Ready Finish: The non-reflective surface prevents light-bounce and glare, significantly improving the clarity of deep-seated anatomical structures.

• Rigid Corridor Stability: Unlike flexible retractors, this rigid tube ensures that the surgical field remains open and protected from encroaching soft tissue throughout the entire procedure.

Condition

• Status: Limited Use – Excellent Condition.

• Functional Assessment: The retractor hub and tube are perfectly concentric. The internal lumen is polished and free of any nicks, burrs, or reprocessing residue.

• Cosmetic Status: This instrument presents in near-new condition, often indistinguishable from "New Out of Box" inventory.

• Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated MISS (Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery) protocols prior to use.
