The Neurosurgery Surgical MIS Nerve Root Retractor 3/16″ Blade, 6¾″ Long, Panther is a precision-designed surgical instrument developed for minimally invasive spine surgery and advanced neurosurgical procedures. It provides surgeons with controlled access and gentle retraction of nerve roots, dura, and surrounding soft tissues while maintaining a clear operative field.

Minimally invasive spinal procedures require specialized instruments that combine small working profiles with accurate handling. This MIS Nerve Root Retractor features a 3/16-inch blade, allowing surgeons to work effectively within narrow surgical corridors while minimizing disruption to surrounding anatomy. The compact blade design is particularly useful for procedures where delicate neural structures require careful protection and precise manipulation.

The instrument’s slim profile supports improved visualization during microscope-assisted and minimally invasive procedures. The narrow blade allows accurate positioning around nerve roots and other sensitive structures, helping surgeons create adequate working space for decompression, disc removal, and other spinal interventions. Its design supports atraumatic handling while maintaining dependable retraction performance.

With an overall length of 6¾ inches (approximately 17 cm), this retractor provides an excellent balance between reach and maneuverability. The length allows comfortable access to deeper spinal areas while maintaining surgeon control and tactile feedback. Its compact construction makes it ideal for use in confined operative fields where larger retractors may not be suitable.

The Panther finish provides a durable, low-reflective surface that helps reduce glare from operating room lighting. This feature supports improved visualization during high-precision procedures and contributes to enhanced instrument durability. The coated surface also provides a smooth finish that supports professional surgical handling and maintenance.

The Neurosurgery Surgical MIS Nerve Root Retractor 3/16″ Blade Panther is commonly used in minimally invasive spine procedures, lumbar microdiscectomy, nerve root decompression, spinal stenosis treatment, foraminal decompression, and other neurosurgical applications. It is frequently included in MIS spine systems, neurosurgical instrument trays, and specialized spinal surgery sets.

Manufactured from high-quality surgical materials, this retractor provides reliable strength and long-term performance. The precision-engineered shaft maintains stability during use, allowing surgeons to perform controlled retraction without unwanted movement. Its durable construction supports repeated clinical use while maintaining accuracy and functionality.

The ergonomic handle provides a secure grip and allows precise adjustment during surgery. The balanced design reduces hand fatigue during extended procedures and improves overall instrument control. The rigid structure helps maintain consistent positioning while allowing surgeons to work efficiently within delicate anatomical regions.

The atraumatic blade profile is designed to support gentle tissue interaction while providing effective exposure. By combining a narrow working end with reliable structural strength, this MIS retractor helps surgeons achieve improved access while supporting nerve preservation techniques.

The instrument is fully reusable and compatible with standard hospital sterilization protocols, including steam autoclaving. Its durable construction maintains mechanical integrity, surface quality, and performance through repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles.

Combining minimally invasive design, precise blade dimensions, and durable Panther coating technology, the Neurosurgery Surgical MIS Nerve Root Retractor – 3/16″ Blade, 6¾″ Long, Panther is a dependable choice for neurosurgeons and spine specialists requiring accurate nerve root retraction and improved surgical control.
