Product Overview
The MD-Vue™ Lateral Access System was designed in collaboration with top lateral spine surgeons and represents many years of lateral procedure experience. MD-Vue is the only lateral retractor that offers a unique and patented Nested 3-Blade Design which prevents blade creep during insertion. MD-Vue also incorporates a larger blade diameter, for increased surface area contact, which minimizes the pressure on neural structures during retraction. In addition, MD-Vue features an industry leading integrated, adjustable dual light source, as well as infinite retraction resolution and an improved rotary retraction mechanism that provides better control and tactile feel during retraction.
System features:
• Large Blade Diameter increases surface area to minimize pressure on nerve root during retraction
• Radiolucent Retractor increases visibility of critical anatomical structures during intraoperative C-Arm use
• Patented Nested 3-Blade Interlocking Blade Design prevents blade creep during insertion (U.S. Patent Nos. 8,986,344; 9,414,831)
• Optional 4th Blade Anterior Retraction enables surgeon to increase retraction field if necessary
• Infinite Cranial/Caudal Resolution prevents unwanted nerve pressure by permitting surgeon to dial in precisely the desired amount of retraction versus traditional incremental step retraction
