Medtronic X1100013 METRx System 24mm Access Cannula Dilator Orthopedic 5"

Medtronic X1100013 5" METRx 24mm Access Cannula Dilator

The Medtronic X1100013 is a high-performance spinal access instrument designed for the METRx Minimally Invasive System. This 24 mm diameter cannula serves as the critical final dilator in the sequential dilation process, creating a calibrated surgical corridor for the insertion of 24 mm tubular retractors. By displacing rather than cutting paraspinous muscles, this dilator minimizes soft-tissue trauma, reduces intraoperative blood loss, and significantly accelerates patient recovery compared to traditional open posterior approaches.

Measuring 5 inches (127 mm) in length, the X1100013 provides the necessary depth for lumbar decompression while maintaining a low profile that does not interfere with surgical loupes or operating microscopes. Crafted from premium surgical-grade materials with a high-polish finish, it ensures smooth insertion and seamless compatibility with the entire Medtronic METRx instrumentation suite.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Medtronic Sofamor Danek

• Model Number: X1100013

• System Compatibility: METRx System (Tubular Retraction)

• Diameter: 24 mm

• Length: 5 inches (127 mm)

• Application: Lumbar Microdiscectomy, Laminectomy, and Foraminotomy

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Muscle-Sparing Dilatation: The atraumatic tip is designed to split muscle fibers longitudinally along their natural planes, preserving the structural integrity of the spinal column.

• Precision Retractor Seating: The 24 mm outer diameter is factory-indexed to provide a friction-fit for METRx tubular retractors, preventing "retractor-creep" during high-torque bone removal.

• Optimized Visualization: The 5-inch length is specifically balanced to provide deep access without creating a "long-tunnel" effect that can limit light penetration from surgical headlights.

• Reduced Post-Op Morbidity: By minimizing dead space and tissue disruption, the use of this cannula is associated with lower post-operative pain scores and shorter hospital stays.

Condition

• Status: Limited Use – Excellent Condition.

• Functional Assessment: The cannulated lumen is perfectly clear, and the exterior surface is free of nicks or burrs that could snag tissue. The finish is bright and shows no signs of high-volume clinical wear.

• 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 Spinal/MISS protocols prior to use.
