Medtronic X1100009 METRx System 26mm Access Cannula Dilator Orthopedic 4-3/4"

Medtronic X1100009 4-3/4" METRx 26mm Access Cannula Dilator

The Medtronic X1100009 is a premium-tier spinal access instrument designed for the METRx Minimally Invasive System. Featuring a robust 26 mm diameter, this cannula is engineered for surgeons who require a wider operative field than standard micro-dilators provide. It serves as the definitive final dilator in the sequential dilation process, creating a calibrated, muscle-sparing corridor for the insertion of 26 mm tubular retractors. This larger diameter is particularly advantageous for complex decompressions and cases involving stenotic anatomy where increased instrument maneuverability is paramount.

Measuring 4-3/4 inches (121 mm) in length, the X1100009 is optimized for posterior lumbar approaches, providing deep access while maintaining a compact profile that maximizes light entry from surgical microscopes. Crafted from high-polish surgical-grade materials, it ensures atraumatic displacement of paraspinous tissues, significantly reducing postoperative morbidity and recovery times compared to open "Wilson-frame" procedures.
