Description

The Lumbar Vertebral Spreader is designed to provide controlled distraction between the lumbar vertebral bodies during spinal procedures. It can be used during lumbar discectomy, decompression, interbody fusion, and reconstructive surgery when additional space is needed to access the disc area and maintain a clear working field.

The instrument has three-prong tips that provide several points of contact within the vertebral space. This helps keep the spreader positioned during distraction and distributes the applied force across a broader area. It is available with 85 mm and 100 mm working depths, giving surgical teams options for different patient anatomies and operative approaches.

The heavy-duty construction is suited to lumbar procedures where more distraction force may be required. The spreader can achieve a maximum opening of 70 mm, while the adjustment mechanism allows the opening to be increased gradually and held in the desired position. This can be useful when creating room for disc removal, endplate preparation, or implant placement.

The overall design is intended to provide stability while the distraction is being applied. The three-prong arrangement gives the working end a secure hold, while the adjustment mechanism allows the user to make changes without having to reposition the entire instrument.

It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel and goes through quality control inspection before it is supplied. The instrument is checked for its overall finish and condition, while the prongs, adjustment mechanism, and handle are inspected to make sure they are properly finished, secure, and functioning as intended. These checks help ensure that the instrument is in good working condition before use. The stainless-steel construction also makes it suitable for regular cleaning and maintenance as a reusable surgical instrument.

With its three-prong tips, two working depths, heavy-duty construction, and 70 mm maximum opening, the Lumbar Vertebral Spreader provides a practical option for controlled lumbar distraction. Its design is particularly suited to procedures where stable access and substantial vertebral separation are required.
